If The Bible is literally true, then Solomon must be one of the world's greatest philanderers. First Kings says Solomon loved many strange women. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines. And he loved the fabulous beauty, the Queen of Sheba.
Many scholars doubt that Jerusalem was more than a small, unwalled village in the tenth century BCE, the time attributed to Solomon. Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman (The Bible Unearthed) say that by the beginning of the eighth century the population was around 1000 persons - male and female, young and old. If Solomon really had 700 wives and 300 concubines, this implies a population far larger than archaeologists have found any evidence for, even if every other man was celibate. And if every adult male in the city (or village) was celibate in the service of Solomon, then he was indeed the world's greatest philanderer.
