Bible Question:
I have a essay due on the Song of Solomon can you give me some facts about Solomon? |
Bible Answer: Solomon was the tenth son of David and the third king of Israel. His reign spanned forty years, around 1,000 B.C. Solomon is noted for his wealth, his wisdom, and his building programs. He is traditionally credited with having written the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, and most of the Proverbs. The main Biblical source on his life and times is recorded in the first 11 chapters of 1 Kings. For additional information you may find it helpful to consult a reliable Bible dictionary, a study Bible or commentary, and read the introductions contained in most study and reference Bibles to the three books ascribed to him. If you are doing an essay on King Solomon, I'd urge you to read, in addition to the other reference materials, his three aforementioned books that are a part of Scripture. And, please, make an "A" on it :-) --Hank |
