Solomon's building projects, including the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, significantly enhanced Israel's cultural and religious identity, fostering a sense of unity and centralized worship. However, these large-scale endeavors placed a heavy tax burden on the populace and required extensive labor, leading to discontent among the people. This discontent eventually contributed to the division of the kingdom after Solomon's reign, demonstrating the dual impact of his ambitious projects on Israel's stability and prosperity.

His refusal led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).See also:Solomon's accomplishmentsSolomon's errorsJewish history timeline
