Solomon (/ ˈ s ɒ l ə m ə n /), [a] also called Jedidiah, [b] was the fourth monarch of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah, according to the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. [4] [5] The successor of his father David, he is described as having been the penultimate ruler of all Twelve Tribes of Israel under an amalgamated Israel and Judah.
The Quran relates that Solomon died while he was leaning upon his staff and that he remained standing, propped up by it, until a little creature – ant or worm – gnawed at it, until, finally, it gave way – and only then did his body collapse.
[18] [24] The historicity of Solomon and his rule is also hotly debated. While the current consensus allows for a historical Solomon, it regards his reign as king over the United Monarchy in the tenth century BCE as uncertain and the biblical description of his apparent empire's lavishness as most probably a massive anachronistic exaggeration.
Rehoboam (/ ˌ r iː ə ˈ b oʊ. əm /; Hebrew: רְחַבְעָם , Rəḥaḇʿām, transl. "an enlarged people"; Greek: Ροβοάμ, Roboam; Latin: Roboam) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Judah after the split of the united Kingdom of Israel.
