Solomon was a the wisest and wealthiest king of The United Kingdom of Israel. Solomon was born in 990 BCE and was the second born son of King David. He ruled for 40 years before he was punished for sins. Solomon was king after David his father, when God asked Solomon what he wanted out of anything in the world he said wisdom instead of money or power he chose wisdom. Solomon ended up making some pretty bad choses and one of those bad choses was that he had a ton of wives and riches. He ended up having 700 wives and 300 concubines total so 1000 woman total. When God found out about this he punished Solomon by taking the kingdom away from him and giving it to one of his slaves, but this wouldn’t happen during his ruling but it would happen during his son Rehoboam during his ruling. Solomon ended up dying in 931 BCE of natural causes.
