Three examples of Solomon’s wisdom are the story of the prostitutes and the child, the writings of wisdom literature (Psalms and Proverbs), and the story of Queen of Sheba. How does Solomon oppress and exploit the people? Solomon divides the land into twelve new districts and appoints an officer for each region.

King Solomon’s gold mines, which the Bible says helped him store wealth amounting to more than £2.3 trillion, are a complete myth, historians believe. The biblical ruler is said to have accumulated 500 tons of pure gold from the mines, but experts now say the pot of wealth is unlikely to have ever existed.

Solomon asked for an understanding heart to judge his people wisely and to discern between good and evil. God was so pleased with the unselfishness of the request that besides great wisdom, He also gave him riches, honour and long life, on the condition he would continue to obey God’s commandments.

In a dream, God asks King Solomon what gift he’d like. And Solomon can choose anything – courage, strength, even money or fame. He chooses an understanding heart. Wisdom, so he can make good decisions for his people.

Analysis. Jesus has been discussing the lilies in the field, and how even these simple flowers are more finely clothed than Solomon. In this verse he states that if God clothes the lowly flowers so grandly, he will certainly ensure that his human followers are properly clad.

Archaeologist Nelson Glueck (second from left) believed he had found Solomon’s mines in the copper-rich Arabah Valley of southern Israel and Jordan.

New evidence that links the vast copper mines in southern tip of Israel to the reign of King Solomon has been discovered, archaeologists report. After American archaeologist Nelson Glueck explored the region in the 1930s, he announced he had found the real-life “King Solomon’s Mines” in the biblical kingdom of Edom.

King Solomon’s Mines (1885) is a popular novel by the English Victorian adventure writer and fabulist Sir H. Rider Haggard. It tells of a search of an unexplored region of Africa by a group of adventurers led by Allan Quatermain for the missing brother of one of the party.

A 3,000-year-old defensive wall possibly built by King Solomon has been unearthed in Jerusalem, according to the Israeli archaeologist who led the excavation. The discovery appears to validate a Bible passage, she says. The tenth-century B.C. wall is 230 feet (70 meters) long and about 6 meters (20 feet) tall.

Excluding the bronze, and using the average current price of gold, the gold alone of Solomon’s temple would have been an astonishing $000. The silver would have been $000. Added together, the gold and silver used along in Solomon’s Temple was worth $000.

This is most likely a memorial that was probably built to commemorate the Prophet Sulaiman (biblical Solomon). It is located within the plaza of Haram al-Sharif, which supports its eastern wall.

Generosity. Many stories are told of ‘Abd al-Rahman’s personal generosity. He once furnished Muhammad’s army with 1,500 camels. He bequeathed 400 dinars to the survivors of Badr and a large legacy to the widows of Muhammad.

Musa is thought to have been the only prophet that Allah spoke to directly.
