To make money, mabe to use it to build the new temple.
AnswerAccording to the Book of Kings, Solomon ruled a united kingdom of Israel for forty years. During this time, the Bible says that he built the Temple promised, but never built, by his father, King David.Arguably his most important contribution to history, in the biblical account, is to have ruled so unwisely and imposed such swingeing taxes, that the people of the northern tribes rebelled against his son and formed their own kingdom. However, scholars dispute whether there ever really was a united kingdom of Israel, in which case it is hard to ascribe this or any other achievement to Solomon.

A:According to The Bible, Solomon's legacy was the breakup of the United Monarchy into two separate, warring monarchies. The Bible tells us that Solomon's unwise spending and swingeing taxes, maintained by his son, were the cause of the breakup. Another Answer:Scripture says that Solomon's Kingdom was the greatest extend of the blessings to Israel:1 Kings 1:37New International Version (NIV) 37 As the LORD was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!"The Kingdom expanded during Solomon's 40 year reign. It was not until approximately 30 years after his death, that his two sons quarreled over the heavy tax burden one was imposing upon the people and divided against God's will.
God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, as well as riches and honor, to help him reign and judge the people effectively. Solomon's wisdom allowed him to make fair and just decisions, earning him a reputation as a wise and righteous king.
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.

AnswerAccording to the Book of Kings, Solomon ruled a united kingdom of Israel for forty years. During this time, the Bible says that he built the Temple promised, but never built, by his father, King David.Arguably his most important contribution to history, in the biblical account, is to have ruled so unwisely and imposed such swingeing taxes, that the people of the northern tribes rebelled against his son and formed their own kingdom. However, scholars dispute whether there ever really was a united kingdom of Israel, in which case it is hard to ascribe this or any other achievement to Solomon.
David made Israel a mighty empire, , and Jerusalem as the capital city, and david started building the temple, but it was Solomon who finally finished building the temple of God.
No. If Solomon was a real, historical person, he would have been a Hebrew, or Israelite. On the face of it, that would appear to make Solomon a Jew, but as monotheistic Judaism only began some centuries later during the reign of King Josiah, Solomon could best be described as a pagan. Islam began one and a half thousand years after the time of King Solomon.
Because he was loosing money
King Solomon didn't really transform Israel he inherited an immense, powerful and prosperous empire from his father, David. Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon's subjects all his life. Shortly after Solomon was anointed king, God appeared to him in a dream and invited Solomon to make a request for himself. Solomon asked for "an understanding heart to judge your people..." This request pleased God and God promised Solomon …..riches and honour like no other king in your days. (1 Kings 3:7-13) God intended that the wisdom of His way of life and His laws be made available to other nations. But neither Solomon nor the people he led kept their eyes on that objective. The physical benefits of prosperity, wealth and fame became their chief focus. They lost sight of the reason for their existence as a nation. Under Solomon Israel continued to be a rich and powerful nation. The crowning achievement of Solomon's reign is the building of the Temple which his father, King David, had dreamed about. This is the pinnacle of Jewish history. Everyone is united.
