According to some, The Bible says King Solomon was black.

-LAMENTATIONS 4:8

"Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick."

-LAMENTATIONS 5:10

"Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine."

-JOB 30:30

"My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat."

The Song Of Solomon is King Solomon speaking. In poetry language rules are different even in intiquity. ... The world teaches the lie that this is some concubine or the Queen of Sheba speaking. I challenge anyone to come forth and prove according to Scripture that this is some "concubine" or the "Queen of Sheba" speaking instead of Solomon himself.

SHAYAR HASHAYARYAM 1:5

"Sha-chaa-war-ha an-ya, wa-na-ah-wah, ban-wath Ya-raw-sha-lam, ka-ah-hal-ya Qa-dar, ka-ya-ra-ya-i-wath Sha-la-mah."

The first part of this verse which reads "Sha-chaa-war-ha an-ya" literally translates to "I am dark skinned"!

Let's look up the meaning of the word for black, "shachar", as used in this verse for proof:

This is the definition of shachar from The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible:

7838. Shachar from 7835; prop. dusky, but also (absol.) jetty:--- black

So the word "shachar" means "dusky". Let's look that word up and see what it means:

The definition of the word dusky from The Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Tenth Edition:

dusky - adj. (-ier, -iest) darkish in colour. euphemistic, dated or poetic/literary (of a person) black; dark-skinned.

1. Solomon described himself as black in Song of Solomon 1:5

2. The word "black" as used in Song of Solomon 1:5 in the ancient Hebrew is defined in The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (widely regarded as one of the top concordances of the Bible) as "dusky"

3. The word "dusky" when defined in a dictionary as pertains to a person means dark skinned!
