In brief: Solomon was David's second son by Bathsheba (the first after their marriage) He was probably born about B.C. 1035 (1 Chr. 22:5; 29:1) and he succeeded his father on the throne in early adulthood, probably about eighteen years of age. He was known for his wisdom. The first half of his reign was by far the brighter and more prosperous; the latter half was clouded by the idolatries into which he fell, mainly from his heathen intermarriages (1 Kings 11:1-8; 14:21, 31).
