Shelomoh is the name of Israel's third king, son of David and Bathsheba. The name derives from shalom (peace), meaning "peaceable" or "his peace." God gave him the additional name Jedidiah ("beloved of the LORD") through the prophet Nathan (2 Samuel 12:25). Solomon reigned approximately 970–930 BC and was renowned for wisdom, wealth, and his building of the First Temple.
Solomon represents the apogee and tragedy of the Davidic kingdom. Granted unparalleled wisdom (1 Kings 3), he built the Temple as God's earthly dwelling place — yet he ultimately multiplied wives, horses, and gold in direct violation of Deuteronomy 17:16–17, leading Israel into idolatry. He is a warning that wisdom without obedience fails. Jesus identified Himself as "greater than Solomon" (Matthew 12:42) — the true King who embodies both wisdom and righteousness without compromise.
