Solomon Islands

traditionally believed to have been written by King Solomon around the year 935 B.C.E. King Solomon was the son of David, who was known for his wisdom and his writings, as well as his wealth. In chapter 2, verses 4-9 mention great works he built as well as treasures he owned, also leading to the belief that Solomon is the author. Not all Biblical scholars attribute authorship of Ecclesiastes to Solomon however. Some believe the book was written about Solomon instead of by him and that it was…

value all throughout history. One great example of a wise ruler was King Solomon, son of David, who is mentioned in several ancient texts like the Holy Bible, the Qur’an, and the Talmund. Solomon was praised highly as a king because of the wisdom he claimed to have received from God. His most famous story is the one people call the “Judgement of Solomon”. The story is about two women who claim to be the mother of a child. Solomon commanded that the child be cut in two to solve the conflict but…

The first three kings of Israel, Saul, David and Solomon were men of strength and weakness. When the kings listen to the message of God’s servants the prophets, they make the right decisions and experience the blessings of God. When the leaders reject the prophet’s inspired message, the entire nation suffers. Thus, everything ultimately rises or falls spiritually, socially, militarily, and politically because of leadership. As God’s anointed leaders, the kings are held accountable to maintain…

Fritz suggest, even if David and /or Solomon realized the feats credited to them in the Bible, no sources would have revealed their names, hence; we can neither attest nor refute the biblical account of the United Monarchy. Fritz, details accounts of the first millennium intrastate events appear for the first time in the ninth century BCE. He submits there are no extrabiblical sources that mention either David or Solomon. However, with one exception; in the tenth-century engravings…

Specifically, there are countless events relating to the Edomites throughout the Old and New Testaments, and as we look through them we can see how they play an important part in the history of the Israelites. In the final analysis of their history, we can learn to understand how the “Fear of God” played a significant role. During the 13th century B.C., and according to archaeological evidence (Bryant, 1967) the kingdom of Edom became established. In time, people also called it by the names…

King Manasseh in 2 Chronicles 33:1-20 is a story of repentance. Manasseh ruled for 55 long years and he started his reign at twelve years old. The initial ten years of his rule was conceivably a cogency with his father, Hezekiah. Though Manasseh had the longest tenure as king of Judah, the bible reflects on Manasseh and his devotion. He is both a bad guy and a good guy but also a man of repentance. It is clear that Manasseh headed people of Judah far from love of the LORD (2 Chronicles 33:9).…

Renard was a French author that died in 1910. We all come up with excuses for laziness but Jules Bernard quote explains laziness so elegantly. 7. Bible and Laziness Laziness is discussed all through the bible. Has laziness been with us since the beginning of time? Laziness in Proverbs 19:24 states "A slothful [man] hideth his hand in [his] bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again." Which means the man is too lazy to feed himself and is explained further in Proverbs 26:15…

The book of Psalms, like the other “wisdom books” of the Bible, contains “songs,” that are attributed to King David. King David was likely not the author of these ancient hymns, but the Psalms still retain a thematic connection between David and his god, regardless of authorship. Psalm 11 is not only a clear reflection of the spiritual connection between monarch and deity, but also serves as a condemnation of the wicked. The author describes how he refutes those that may dare to gainsay his…

fear the world, but that we should fear God instead, because he is all powerful. This is why Solomon writes that fearing the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, because it is a consequence of one growing closer to God, and contrasting his righteous and perfect nature with one 's own corruption. “To “fear” God, then is to “know” Him and vice versa.” Solomon also says that the fear of God is a fountain of life, "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of…

The story of two kings and one’s jealousy leads to the want of the other dead. He turns away from God. The people are warned what would happen if they were given a king to rule them. Saul was chosen to become king but the most the people rejected him from the start. After Saul’s sin, God anoints a new king to one day take his place, David. David will become the better king over Saul. After David’s reign, another king takes charge and divides the Israel due to his sin against God. God has plans…
