Illustration from a 1896 Bible card. In a subject called in art the Idolatry of Solomon, the foreign wives are depicted as leading Solomon away from Yahweh toward idolatry because they worshiped gods other than Yahweh ( 1 Kings 11:1–3). This forms part of the Power of Women topos in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, showing the dangers women posed to even the most virtuous men. [107]

It is often depicted in the shape of either a pentagram or a hexagram. In religious lore, the ring is variously described as having given Solomon the power to command the supernatural, including shedim and jinn, and also the ability to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman, or a symbol or character in medieval magic and Renaissance magic, occultism, and alchemy.Levy, Thomas E; Higham, Thomas, eds.

According to the scriptures, Solomon’s throne was made of ivory and overlaid with pure gold, showcasing his wealth and magnificence. His crown was also made of gold, set with precious stones, further emphasizing his royal authority.

Although the location of the port of Ezion-Geber is known, no remains have ever been found. More archaeological success has been achieved with the major cities Solomon is said to have strengthened or rebuilt, for example, Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer. [31] These all have substantial ancient remains, including impressive six-chambered gates, and ashlar palaces; however it is no longer the scholarly consensus that these structures date to the time, according to the Bible, when Solomon ruled. [32] According to the Bible, during Solomon's reign, Israel enjoyed great commercial prosperity, with extensive traffic being carried on by land with Tyre, Egypt, and Arabia, and by sea with Tarshish, Ophir, and South India. [33] Wives and concubines [ edit ] King Solomon with his wives. Illustrated in 1668 by Giovanni Battista Venanzi. In Islamic tradition, Solomon is also known as Sulaimān ibn Dāwūd, and is recognised as a prophet and a messenger of God, as well as a divinely appointed monarch. [87] Solomon inherited his position from his father as the prophetic King of the Israelites. Unlike in the Bible, according to Muslim tradition, Solomon never participated in idolatry himself, but is rebuked for allowing it to happen in his kingdom. [88]
