The notion that Solomon could have been black seems to have arisen from a misunderstanding of the Song of Solomon, also known as the Song of Songs, a poem that tells the sexual experiences and thoughts of a black woman,. Although Song of Songs is attributed to Solomon, the language and style indicate that it was written after the end of the Babylonian Exile. Rabbi Akiva insisted on its inclusion in the Hebrew Bible, holding that it was the holiest of all the scriptures, but forbade its singing in beerhalls. It has been suggested that the Song of Solomon was originally the libretto of a small Opera of the day.

While there is nothing known about Solomon from extra-biblical evidence, the Old Testament does make it clear that Solomon is considered to have been Semitic. On that basis, he would have had brown skin.

ANSWER: King Solomon was a Jew. He was from the tribe of Judah. Many Jewish people are brown skinned and some even white. The question is a favorite on this website. Jews are world wide. I have seen many in the United States and most have light skin unless they have been exposed to a lot of sun light. Jews are not of the black race.
