Solomon
Solomon Matthew 6:29 Excerpt The third king of Israel (c. 971–931 bc), son of David and Bathsheba ( 2 Sa. 12:24 ); also named Jedidiah (‘beloved of the Lord’) by Nathan the prophet ( 2 Sa. 12:25 ). Solomon (šʾelōmōh, probably ‘peaceful’) does not figure in the biblical narrative until the last days of David ( 1 Ki. 1:10ff .) despite the fact that he was born (in Jerusalem; 2 Sa. 5:14 ) early in his father’s reign.
