Solomon's image as a wise king and the founder of Jerusalem Temple
has become a fixture of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic literature.
Yet, there are essential differences between the portraits of
Solomon that are presented in the Hebrew Bible. In this volume,
Isaac Kalimi explores these differences, which reflect divergent
historical contexts, theological and didactic concepts, stylistic
and literary techniques, and compositional methods among the
biblical historians. He highlights the uniqueness of each portrayal
of Solomon - his character, birth, early life, ascension, and
temple-building - through a close comparison of the early and late
biblical historiographies. Whereas the authors of Samuel-Kings stay
closely to their sources and offer an apology for Solomon's
kingship, including its more questionable aspects, the Chronicler
freely rewrites his sources in order to present the life of Solomon
as he wished it to be. The volume will serve scholars and students
seeking to understand biblical texts within their ancient Near
Eastern contexts.
