What Color Was King Solomon?

Answer 1

some people use

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

to say that soloman was black. but 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 2

red

Additional Answer:

In the love letter called the 'Song of Solomon' in Scripture, the Kings lover says this about Solomon's appearance:

Song of Songs 5:10New International Version (NIV)

She

10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,

outstanding among ten thousand.

Radiant connotes a meaning of brightness, shining, vibrance while ruddy usually means of a reddish or rosy shade of pigment (skin tone). When speaking of humans it is sometimes called ruddy pink to describe the complexion. When speaking of an animal it is commonly called ruddy brown.

In any event, being a descendant from the tribe of Judah, a Semitic people, Solomon would be classified as a Caucasian

Answer 3

I assume you mean his racial color? It seems to be that King Solom had an Arabic tone to his color but he appears more white in most paintings.
