Solomon

Solomon, also known as Shelomo in Hebrew (שְׁלֹמֹה), was a biblical figure who, according to the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, was a king of the United Kingdom of Israel. He is considered a notable figure in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Solomon is renowned for his wisdom, wealth, and his construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. In the Hebrew Bible, he is depicted as the son of David and Bathsheba, and his reign is described as a golden age of peace and prosperity. The Quran also speaks highly of Solomon, referring to him as Sulayman (سليمان), and praises his wisdom and his ability to communicate with animals and jinn. In Christian tradition, Solomon is often associated with the authorship of the Book of Proverbs, the Song of Songs, and the Book of Wisdom, although modern scholarship questions his authorship of these texts.
