∙ 11y agoSolomon built a temple for god and wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. He composed 3,000 parables, and 1,005 poems.
He also had 700 wives and 300 concubines. In order to form alliances with neighboring territories, the daughters of the leaders of various city-states were sent to marry the king. In doing so, they had to convert to Judaism. Solomon felt that his great wisdom and spirituality would enable him to stay focused on his responsibilities despite the limits 'suggested' by the Torah.

∙ 14y agoThis is a broad question to answer in this website. Solomon did many things for Israel; both good and bad.
Notable acts include increasing wonders and wealth of Israel during his reign. He became famous in such a way that other nations marvelled of his greatness.
That being said; Solomon marked the beginning of Israel's fall. Due to his wisdom that was actually from God to begin with, Solomon began trusting mainly on himself. He started doing things God commanded he shouldn't do as a king.
The Lord had already told His people in Deuteronomy 17:14-20 that a king "must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them".
"Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt" 1 Kings 10: 28
The Bible goes on to say that " he must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold." Deuteronomy 17:17.
"King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth...he accumulated chariots and horses" 1 Kings 10: 23.26
The list of the things king Solomon did wrong are many! Nevertheless, he repented but it was too late to undo the damage he had caused to his kingdom.
His sons were corrupted and there were many foreign gods in the country; above all, more than half of his kingdom was taken away from his family.
In summary, when Solomon trusted in God, everything was okay in his kingdom but became chaos when he sinned.
