Bible Question: how did King Solomon die? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Taterhead2004, 1 Kings 11:40-43 and 2 Chronicles 9:29-31 are the passages of Scripture that mention Solomon's death. We know that Jeroboam was in Egypt at the time of Solomon's death, since Solomon sought to put him to death (1 Kings 11:40). I see no reason to suggest violence as a means of Solomon's death, and the authors of either one of these books would most certainly have included the event if Solomon's death was due to a "non-natural" occurrence. Therefore, I believe that Solomon died naturally, full of years, after reigning over all Israel for 40 years, as his father David did (1 Kings 2:11). Blessings to you, Makarios |
