Solomon
![''King Solomon'' (1872) by [[Simeon Solomon]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Simeon_Solomon%2C_King_Solomon%2C_1872_or_1874%2C_NGA_76152_%28cropped%29.jpg)
The Bible says Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem, dedicating the temple to Yahweh, or God. Solomon is portrayed as wealthy, wise and powerful, and as one of the 48 Jewish prophets. He is also the subject of many later references and legends, most notably in the Testament of Solomon (part of first-century biblical apocrypha).
The historicity of Solomon is hotly debated. Current consensus allows for a historical Solomon, but regards his reign as king over Israel and Judah in the tenth century BCE as uncertain and the biblical description of his apparent empire's lavishness as most probably an anachronistic exaggeration.
In the New Testament, he is portrayed as a teacher of wisdom excelled by Jesus of Nazareth, and as arrayed in glory but excelled by "the lilies of the field". In the Quran, he is considered to be a major Islamic prophet. In mostly 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.
