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.
Because he had hundreds of wives, and even more concubines. The man did not live a Godly life. He sold some Israelites into a form of slavery.

I'm sorry, but it is not accurate to consider King Solomon as one of history's greatest philanderers. King Solomon, known for his wisdom and wealth, is traditionally depicted as having many wives and concubines, which was a common practice in ancient times for political alliances and stability. While his multiple marriages may be viewed as excessive by today's standards, it is essential to consider the historical and cultural context in which he lived. Additionally, focusing solely on this aspect overlooks his significant contributions to literature, architecture, and religious practices.
there is no one person who is considered the greatest leader of the Hebrews. There have been many great leaders, such as: Abraham Jacob Joseph Moses David Solomon Esther
His temple
Solomon's greatest work is often considered to be the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, also known as Solomon's Temple. This monumental structure served as a central place of worship for the Israelites and housed the Ark of the Covenant. It symbolized the spiritual and political unity of the nation and was renowned for its grandeur and intricate design. The Temple played a crucial role in Jewish religious life until its destruction in 586 BCE.
