No, but his wife was dark because she used to always work in the hot, scorching, middle-eastern outdoor vineyards before she married Solomon.

Answer 2

some people use Son 1:5 I am black, but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

to say that soloman was black. but the very next verse states that it was merely suntanning. Also, if you read this in context, even the verse, why would soloman say "as the curtains of Solomon."

if you will read all of this you will see that this is a woman talking.

Son 5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. ( this is about king soloman)

ANSWER 3 Yes he was black. all the prophets and kings and priest in The Bible were black people

Gamal Abdul Nasser (Former President of the United Arab Republic) said in 1956 that 'He could not respect the present Jews because they left Israel black and came back white.'

The children of Judah (Jews) are black people, the bible says Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees (Genesis 11:28) the Chaldees were black race this is evident from their art. Many of the Jew's paintings were whitewashed and made to look like white people but they were black, there are still some paintings out there that weren't whitewashed and that clearly show that the ancient Israelite people were black. Song of Solomon IS Solomon speaking look at the Psalms it says Psalm of David in which the speaker was David look at the book of Proverbs it says the Proverbs of Solomon, and the Song of Solomon was written by Solomon and he was the one speaking in first person, it's a spiritual song even though some people misinterpret it and think it's talking about physical things but it's not. It's speaking about the love between Israel and the most High and Solomon is speaking on behalf of the children of Jacob (Jeremiah 6:2) the daughter of Zion is speaking about the children of Israel because when it talks about the actual Israelite women it says daughters of Zion with an 's' at the end, so when it says daughter of Zion it's speaking about the children of Israel as a woman, (Revelation 21:2) the holy city is the children of Jacob, it's talking about people not a land. To get understanding you must compare scripture with scripture (Isaiah 28:10).

Answer 4:

The third answer is wishful thinking.

Just as today, Israelites came in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
Abraham and Sarah came from southern Iraq and their wider family from northern Iraq. Since DNA tests have shown that Jews intermarried infrequently throughout history, Abraham and the Israelites probably looked like Jews today.
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian).
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."
The only exception to this is the Ethiopian Black Jews, who show only a trace of DNA connection to other Jewish communities. Western ethnologists today hold the view that the Jews of Gondar (Ethiopia) either emerged from a Judaizing strain among Ethiopian Christians, or were converted by Yemeni Jews who crossed the Red Sea. A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East. Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations.
It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
And in America:
The beliefs and practices of Black Hebrew groups vary considerably. The differences are so great that historian James Tinney has suggested the classification of the organizations into three quite distinct groups.
Some of these groups are actually Christians, or part-Christians in their beliefs and practices. They have titles such as Church of the Living God, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, and the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ. Others profess beliefs closer to Judaism, such as the Commandment Keepers.
As Judaism sees it, the issue with their claims is that they can produce no generally-accepted evidence of actual Semitic ancestry. These groups created themselves spontaneously within recent history, from within the wider African-American population.
Any African-Americans who choose to become actual Jews through proper conversion are accepted into Judaism.

No. In his Song of Songs (1:6), which poetically describes the Israelite people, he attributes any darkening of skin to suntanning.
