The defining legend of Solomon was his great wisdom, gifted to him by God. If there ever was a King Solomon, the Bible says that he was the wisest of kings. However, finding specific biblical examples of his wisdom proves difficult. Solomon was certainly not wise when he first succeeded David. At 1Kings 1:52, he said that he would not harm Adonijah as long as he showed himself a worthy man. However, in chapter 2, he ordered the death of Adonijah merely because he sought Solomon's approval to marry a woman. He punished the priest Abiathar, who had previously helped Adonijah, and Joab who did not, although he later befriended him. Then he ordered Shimei, who had not been allied with Adonijah, never to leave Jerusalem. Afterwards, Shimei briefly left Jerusalem to recapture and bring back his slaves, so Solomon had him killed. Solomon has demonstrated his lack of good judgement, as a foil for the qualities he would soon display. Shortly after this, Solomon, in a dream, asked God for wisdom. Soon after God granted Solomon wisdom, two women asked for judgement over the ownership of a small baby. In this episode, Solomon gave his most famous judgement, the only biblical example of his great wisdom. Solomon, with his profound wisdom, just knew that only one woman would be willing to give up her claim to the child rather than have it killed. Whether the insight this passage describes was really wise can be a matter for judgement According to the Bible, Solomon subsequently demonstrated no political wisdom, nor even sufficient common sense to govern wisely in the interests of his own son's succession to the throne of the United Monarchy. Nevertheless, a Judaic tradition of Solomon's wisdom grew. The wisdom books of Proverbs and Ecclestiastes were eventually attributed to him because of his supposed wisdom, in turn resulting in an even greater reputation for wisdom. Yet scholars say they can not be sure that Solomon was even a real, historical person.
To build a 16 x 16 x 8 room, you need to calculate the lumber for the walls and the ceiling. The walls consist of four sides, each 16 feet long and 8 feet high, totaling 512 square feet of wall area. For the ceiling, you need an additional 256 square feet of lumber. Depending on the framing style and the number of windows and doors, you may require additional lumber for studs, plates, and other structural elements.

To determine the shortest wall the bricklayer can build using the 4-inch, 12-inch, and 10-inch bricks, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the brick lengths. The LCM of 4, 12, and 10 is 60 inches. Therefore, each wall will be 60 inches long, allowing the bricklayer to use a combination of the different brick lengths efficiently.

No. Solomon was born in Jerusalem, and his father David conquered the city. It existed long before they did. However, Solomon built the Great Temple in Jerusalem.
Solomon's Temple in ancient Jerusalem was approximately 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

King Solomon's Temple (also called the First Temple) was built in Jerusalem in 960 BCE. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The Second Temple stood from 516 BCE to 70 CE when it was destroyed by the Romans.
The walls of Jerusalem had been broken down for approximately 141 years before Nehemiah began the rebuilding efforts around 445 BC. The destruction occurred in 586 BC when the Babylonians conquered the city. Nehemiah's mission to restore the walls was motivated by the dire state of Jerusalem, as reported by his brother in the book of Nehemiah.

Oh, what a lovely question! Nehemiah had quite the task ahead of him, with the walls of Jerusalem stretching about 2.5 miles around the city. Just imagine the care and dedication he put into each stone, creating a strong and beautiful place for the community to gather and thrive.

King David was told to not build it, but to have his son build it. His son was Solomon. Answer 2 The above Answer does not address the Question. The answer is that the Temple was a huge undertaking, requiring years of effort by tens of thousands of builders, as recorded in 1 Kings. And more to the point, the Temple was the House of God, so more than one would not be appropriate. There were, however, thousands of simple synagogues, long before Solomon's time.
At 1 Kings 1:52, he said that he would not harm Adonijah as long as he showed himself a worthy man. However, in chapter 2, he ordered the death of Adonijah merely because he sought Solomon's approval to marry a woman. Solomon punished the priest Abiathar, who had previously helped Adonijah, and Joab who did not, although he later befriended him. Then he ordered Shimei, who had not been allied with Adonijah, never to leave Jerusalem. Afterwards, Shimei briefly left Jerusalem to recapture and bring back his slaves, so Solomon had him killed. Shortly after these events, Solomon, in a dream, asked God for wisdom. Arguably, the reason for the stories of Adonijah and the others was to demonstrate to the reader Solomon's lack of good judgement, as a foil for the qualities he would soon display.
They told Him this because it was true. It did take 46 years to build Solomon's temple. If you think of how they had to build everything back then, it would take seemingly forever to build anything. They had no electric/battery operated machines. And they also had to do all the heavy lifting without any help...other than more humans. And If you know the story, the temple is rather large. So it is believable that it took that long to build the temple.
