For some years before his death, David was engaged in collecting materials for building a temple in Jerusalem as a permanent home for Yahweh and the Ark of the Covenant. Solomon is described as undertaking the construction of the temple, with the help of an architect, also named Hiram, and other materials, sent from King Hiram of Tyre.
After the completion of the temple, Solomon is described in the biblical narrative as erecting many other buildings of importance in Jerusalem. For 13 years, he was engaged in the building of a royal palace on Ophel (a hilly promontory in central Jerusalem). This complex included buildings referred to as:
The House of the Forest of the Lebanon
The Hall or Porch of Pillars
The Hall of the Throne or the Hall of Justice
as well as his own residence and a residence for his wife, Pharaoh's daughter.[26]
Solomon's throne is said to have been a spectacle, seeing that it was one of the earliest mechanical devices built by man. Solomon also constructed great works for the purpose of securing a plentiful supply of water for the city, and the Millo (Septuagint, Acra) for the defense of the city. However, excavations of Jerusalem have shown a distinct lack of monumental architecture from the era, and remains of neither the Temple nor Solomon's palace have been found.
Solomon is also described as rebuilding cities elsewhere in Israel, creating the port of Ezion-Geber, and constructing Palmyra in the wilderness as a commercial depot and military outpost. Although the location of the port of Ezion-Geber is known, no remains have ever been found. More archaeological success has been achieved with the major cities Solomon is said to have strengthened or rebuilt, for example, Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.[27] These all have substantial ancient remains, including impressive six-chambered gates, and ashlar palaces; however it is no longer the scholarly consensus that these structures date to the time, according to the Bible, when Solomon ruled.[28]

Islamic view of Solomon
King Solomon is a name that conjures extraordinary images out of history and legend: A glittering court known throughout the world. A thousand harem princesses. Idolatry. A gift of divine wisdom. Demonic possession. And above all, the magnificence of the Holy City’s First Temple. From the bloody birth of King David’s wars came a golden age in Jerusalem, with a glory and mystery that would never be repeated.
Thousands of years after King Solomon’s reign, tales still endure of the splendor of Solomon’s court in Jerusalem, his wisdom, and the lush indulgence of his lifestyle, which included a vast harem of foreign princesses. Solomon’s crowning achievement was the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, which would create a deep impact on the kingdom for centuries to come. The towering majesty of the Temple elevated Jerusalem to the status of a Holy City.
Solomon boasted a vast army of 1,400 chariots, the most advanced military technology of the period. His father David, a war hero from the first, had conquered substantial lands of the Philistine and Edomite peoples, and it was Solomon who reaped the rewards. He married the Pharaoh’s daughter, cementing an alliance with the powerful Egyptian kingdom.
Solomon’s reign is shrouded in many mysterious legends which feature him communing with demons, performing magic, and even being imprisoned by a demonic spell. His servant Benayahu son of Yehoyada is said to have carried out quests for him which involved magical beings.
The most famous of Benayahu’s adventures is his fabled quest for the Shamir, a worm that could eat through stone. Legend tells of Solomon’s unwillingness to use knives to cut the stones that would build the First Temple. No warlike tools, he believed, should be used to erect a symbol of peace.
According to legend, Solomon’s wisdom was a divine gift—a gift so powerful that he could understand the speech of animals. God, it is said, asked Solomon what he most desired, and Solomon’s request was for the ability to govern wisely. Thus people came far and wide to Jerusalem for Solomon’s celebrated wit in adjudicating court cases. The Queen of Sheba, in admiration of Solomon’s wisdom, came bearing gifts of gold and her allegiance.
But perhaps the most powerful legend of King Solomon is that at the end of his reign, he was possessed by the demon prince Asmodai.
The First Temple was to exert a deep influence on the future development of religion in Judea. But Solomon still built shrines to other gods, and the heavy burden of taxation that he imposed upon Israel tore the kingdom apart after his death. Solomon is therefore judged a failure in the Scriptural texts, but a magnificent failure: like a meteor rising high, aflame with power and light, only to fall with a devastating crash to earth.
Solomon’s kingdom, which ended in blood, also began in blood. David’s illicit cohabitation with Solomon’s mother, Bathsheba, started it all; and before Solomon was to become king, he would first be tested in a raging gauntlet of family intrigues and murder.
Chronology
The conventional dates of Solomon's reign are derived from biblical chronology and are set from c. 970 to 931 BCE. Regarding the Davidic dynasty, to which King Solomon belongs, its chronology can be checked against datable Babylonian and Assyrian records at a few points, and these correspondences have allowed archaeologists to date its kings in a modern framework.[citation needed][dubious – discuss] According to the most widely used chronology, based on that by Old Testament professor Edwin R. Thiele, the death of Solomon and the division of his kingdom would have occurred in the spring of 931 BCE.
Childhood
Solomon was born in Jerusalem, the second born child of David and his wife Bathsheba, widow of Uriah the Hittite. The first child (unnamed in that account), a son conceived adulterously during Uriah's lifetime, had died as a punishment on account of the death of Uriah by David's order. Solomon had three named full brothers born to Bathsheba: Nathan, Shammua, and Shobab, besides six known older half-brothers born of as many mothers.
The biblical narrative shows that Solomon served as a peace offering between God and David, due to his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. In an effort to hide this sin, for example, he sent the woman's husband to battle, hoping that he would be killed there. After he died, David was finally able to marry his wife. As punishment, the first child, who was conceived during the adulterous relationship, died. Solomon was born after David was forgiven. It is this reason why his name, which means peace, was chosen. Some historians cited that Nathan the Prophet brought up Solomon as his father was busy governing the realm.This could also be attributed to the notion that the prophet held great influence over David because he knew of his adultery, which was considered a grievous offense under the Mosaic Law. It was only during Absalom's rebellion that Solomon started spending more time at David's side.
Reign as Third King of Israel
Third king of all Israel; reigned from about 971 to 931 B.C ; second son of David and Bath-sheba (II Sam. xii. 23-25). He was called Jedidiah (= "beloved of Yhwh") by Nathan the prophet, the Chronicle
