Shortly after Solomon is anointed king, God appears to him in a dream in which He invites Solomon to make a request for himself. Solomon answers:
"I am but a small child ... Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people..."
His request pleases God who tells him:
"Because you have not requested riches and honor but only that which would benefit all the people, I will give you not only an understanding heart like none other before or after you ... but also riches and honor like no other king in your days." (1 Kings 3:7-13)
His fame spread through all the surrounding nations. He composed 3,000 parables, and 1,005 poems. He discoursed about trees, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows from the wall. He also discoursed about animals, birds, creeping things and fish. Men of all nations came to hear Solomon's wisdom, as did all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom. (1 Kings 5:11-14)
He also who wrote the Song of Songs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, and the Book of Proverbs.

The building of the temple in Jerusalem (some with gold and silver). Author of the Biblical books of Proverbs and the Song of Solomon. The book of Proverbs shows much wisdom..read it. He was attributed as being the wisest man on earth at that time. He employed foreign trade big time especially by ship. The army's and their fortresses were second to none.. The land produced great crops and trade under his rule. Solomon fell out of the grace of God late in his life and things went down hill from there.
