Unfortunately we still know very little about the beliefs of the early Hebrews, at the time attributed to Solomon or even centuries afterwards. It is known that many deities were worshipped in theJerusalem Temple that was believed to have been built by Solomon, and that one of these was the goddess Asherah but possibly not the only goddess worshipped there.

According to The Bible, a statue of Asherah stood in the Solomonic temple in Jerusalem for much of its existence. That Asherah was at least the most important Hebrew goddess is shown by two large pithoi or storage jars discovered at Kuntillet Ajrud during the 1970s . One reads, in part: "I bless you byYahweh [God], our guardian, and by his Asherah." The other similarly reads, "Amaryau says: Say to my lord X: I bless you by Yahweh (our guardian), and by his Asherah." And

another inscription found on the base wall of a tomb dated to between 750-700 BCE has been translated by the French epigraphist André Lemaire as, in part: 'Blessed be Uriyahu by Yahweh and by his asherah; from his enemies he saved him!'
