Biblical monarch of ancient Israel For other uses, see Solomon (disambiguation) . Solomon ( / ˈ s ɒ l ə m ə n / ), also called Jedidiah , was the fourth monarch of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah , according to the Hebrew Bible . The successor of his father David , he is described as having been the penultimate ruler of all Twelve Tribes of Israel under an amalgamated Israel and Judah .

A Jewish prophet , Solomon is portrayed as wealthy, wise, powerful, and a dedicated follower of Yahweh ( God ), as attested by the eponymous Solomon's Temple , which was the first Temple in Jerusalem .

In the Quran , he is considered to be a major Islamic prophet . In primarily non-biblical circles, Solomon also came to be known as a magician and an exorcist, with numerous amulets and medallion seals dating from the Hellenistic period invoking his name. The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew . The increased social complexity and hierarchy is expressed in various material changes like the new pottery forms and assemblages. Although these started before Solomon’s time, they climaxed in this period.
