Who is King Solomon Son of David

The Story of Solomon in the Bible Quest

Solomon aka Jedidiah was born in Jerusalem. He was the second child of David and his wife Bathsheba, who was the widow of Uriah whom David had a hand in having him killed in order to hide the fact that David had an adulterous relationship Bathsheba. David and Bathsheba had a child and a son which died seven days after birth as punishment for David's sin.

Note that God had forgiven King David and after punishing him by taking his firstborn, God allowed Bathsheba to have a second child who would one day become the next king of Israel. This means that King Solomon Son of David is within the spiritual Lineage to Jesus.

King David experienced God's unconditional love and forgiveness and expressed it in praise to God ...

Back to the story of Solomon in the Bible ... Solomon became the king of Israel when David died. When God asked Solomon, "What shall I give thee," Solomon responded that he desired to possess "An understanding heart to judge (rule fairly) thy people, that I may discern (understand the difference) between good and bad."

God was so pleased that Solomon asked for something that would be good for God's people, as compared to King Solomon asking for something for himself, that God made King Solomon Son of David the wisest man to ever live. Solomon built a house for the Lord in Jerusalem. There was peace on the earth through the years that Solomon was king. God also gave Solomon riches and honor. Solomon spoke 3,000 proverbs (wise, true sayings) and wrote 1005 songs.

Solomon is also well known for building the first Temple of God in Jerusalem. King David wanted to build the first Temple, but had too much blood on his hands due to the many wars he was in. So God chose Solomon to do so. He was also the last king of Israel after it's unification which was at the height of its power during the King Solomon reign.

Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (mistresses) from various nations. Wow! Can you imagine? One is usually plenty for most fellas. God had warned the Jewish people about marrying foreigners, because they would try to sway the Israelite into idolizing their false gods, thereby angering God.

Well, ole King Solomon did not hear or adhere to God's warning so these 1000 women led him astray and he allowed the worship of false gods into Israel, to please his women. Tsk Tsk. But, always remember ... God forgives. Thank God for Grace which is available to YOU as well.
