David's son and Israel's wisest king — built the first Temple
Also known as The Preacher, The Teacher
Referenced by Josephus (Antiquities 8.1-7) citing independent Phoenician historians Menander of Ephesus and Dius regarding correspondence with Hiram of Tyre
Asked God for wisdom instead of wealth, and got both. Built the magnificent Temple in Jerusalem. Wrote Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Despite being the wisest man alive, his many foreign wives led him into idolatry. Jesus referenced him: 'Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.'.
