Solomon son of David, king of ancient Israel
c.970–
c.930 bc, builder of the first Jewish
Temple in Jerusalem. In the Bible Solomon is traditionally associated with the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs, while his wisdom is illustrated by the
Judgement of Solomon. Discontent with his rule, however, led to the secession of the northern tribes in the reign of his son Rehoboam.
James I and VI of England and Scotland was known as
the English Solomon.
Solomon's ring a magic ring belonging to Solomon, which according to the
Haggada was thrown into the river and retrieved from a fish that had swallowed it.
Solomon's seal a figure like the Star of David. It is also the name for a plant of the lily family, with arching stems that bear a double row of broad leaves with drooping green and white flowers in their axils; the name has been variously explained as referring to markings seen on a transverse section of the rootstock, to the round scars left by the decay of stems, or to the use of the root ‘to seal and close up green wounds’.
