King Solomon "excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom" according to the Bible. The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon (in Hebrew, Shlomo) ruled Israel from about 960 to 922 B.C. and built a magnificent temple in Jerusalem which housed the Ark of the Covenant. Solomon reportedly had hundreds of wives and concubines, including the daughter of the pharaoh of Egypt. He also had a famous meeting with the Queen of Sheba who, after observing his wealth and wisdom, showered him with gifts. Solomon is historically credited with authoring the Bible's Song of Songs and book of Ecclesiastes, though many scholars believe the latter was written after his death.

I know Solomon was some judge that told two ladies to cut a baby in half to reveal the true mother. Is he the same as King Solomon?

Solomon (in Hebrew, Shlomo) was one of the sons of King David and Queen Batsheva. He was the third king of ancient Israel, and the second king of the Davidic line. He was famous for being wise, for building the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and for having WAY too many wives.

he was the son of King David and Bathsheba. King Solomon was the wises man who ever lived, according to the scripture. and yet that wisdom did not keep him from doing stupid sinful things. the key is to be holy.

He was a king of Israel in the 900's BC. Well known for his wisdom. He built the first temple in Jerusalem.
And oh dear, the stories about him...Rabbinical writings have some pretty crazy stuff about the guy.

He was the wisest and richest man that ever lived. You can check him out in 'The Proverbs' the King James Bible. A lot of good knowledge there.
