Yes, King Solomon had ruled Judah and Israel (The First Book of Kings, chapter one). In contrast, King Hezekiah ruled the Kingdom of Judah many centuries later, after Israel had broken away from the rule of Jerusalem. (The Second Book of Kings, chapter eighteen).
King Solomon is considered one of the wisest kings in biblical history. According to tradition, his birthday is not specifically recorded in historical or religious texts.
Solomon was descended from the tribe of Judah.
AnswerNo. The Bible attributes the first Temple to David's son, Solomon, but scholars say that it was probably built at least one or two centuries later.
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.
It is not definitive if King Solomon did say this. It comes from a Sufi fable which when adapted by Jewish folklore cast King Solomon as the king with in the story, or as the one passing on the story.
Solomon built one main temple only.
King David was the one who finally conquered all the predator nations round about. And King Solomon built the First Temple.

Rehoboam was one of his sons.
The phrase originated in an old story about King Solomon but Abraham Lincoln used it in one of his speeches.
Solomon reigned from 971-932 BC (plus or minus one year).
No. Abraham started what we call Judaism, one thousand years before King Solomon.
Solomon's son was Rehoboam. He succeeded Solomon as king of the United Monarchy of Israel but later faced rebellion, resulting in the kingdom being divided into the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
well he said that he would cut it in half and then they could each have one half so then the real mother would not want the baby to be killed so the real mother said , no she can have the baby just don't kill it.........so then king Solomon knew who the baby belonged to
