Solomon — son of David, king of Israel renowned for wisdom, wealth, and building the Temple
Shelomoh (שְׁלֹמֹה) is the proper name of Israel's third king, appearing 293 times across Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra-Nehemiah, and the Song of Songs. The name derives from shalom ('peace'), befitting the king whose reign was marked by the absence of war and the construction of the First Temple. He is introduced as David and Bathsheba's son (2 Sam 12:24), designated successor before David's death (1 Kgs 1:30), and remembered for both extraordinary wisdom (1 Kgs 3:12) and eventual apostasy (1 Kgs 11:1-8). Spanish 'Salomón,' French 'Salomon,' and German 'Salomo' all derive from the Greek Septuagint form Salomon.
