Answer 2

King Solomon is said to have had around 700 wives and 300 concubines, which would suggest a large number of children. However, The Bible specifically mentions only one son of Solomon, Rehoboam, who succeeded him as king. It is possible that Solomon had other children who are not mentioned in historical records.

Answer 3

It is not known if King Solomon had any siblings or how many there were. King Solomon had over 700 wives.

Answer:

The number of King Solomon's wives is not relevant to the Question. His siblings are listed explicitly in the Bible: Amnon, Daniel (not the famous one), Avshalom, Adoniyah, Shephatyah, Yitre'am, Shamuah, Shovav, Nathan (not the prophet), Solomon, Yivhar, Elishuah, Eliphelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Yaphiah, Elishama, Yerimoth, and Eliadah. And a sister named Tamar. Note that all of these were half-siblings; they had different mothers.

Answer 4

The Second Book of Samuel says that David had numerous sons and daughters by various wives and concubines.

Three sons, Absalom, Amnon and Solomon appear to be the most important in the Deuteronomic narrative. Others include Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Eliada and Eliphalet. Chronicles does not mention Absalom, but adds another son, Daniel.

Tamar was a daughter featured in 2 Samuel.

Answer 5

Only four children of Solomon are known: two daughters named Taphath and Basemath (1 Kings 3: 11,15, their mother is most likely Pharaoh's daughter). Taphath's husband was Ben-Abinadab, Basemath's husband was Ahimaaz. They both had no known children.

Only two sons of Solomon are known: Rehoboam, son of Naamah, an Amnonite princess and Solomon's successor. Solomon's other son was Menelik I, son of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba (or Ethoipa), he became the first Ethopian emperor and his descendants are the Ethoipan Jews. Makeda, the Queen of Sheba and Solomon planned to get married however, it was against Jewish law and they never did. The Bible never records their romance and the birth of their son, it only mentions the Queen of Sheba's arrival and departure in I Kings 10.

Answer 6

King Solomon is said to have had three known children: Rehoboam, Abijah, and Taphath. These were mentioned in the Bible and other historical texts as his offspring.
