According to The Bible, God granted Solomon great wisdom. However, there is nothing in the Bible to demonstrate that Solomon really did possess wisdom, and he actually ruled so unwisely that after his death the Bible says the northern Hebrews broke away from Israel and formed the kingdom of Israel, leaving Solomon's son to rule the comparatively small nation of Judah.
