Headword: *solomw=n
Adler number: sigma,772
Translated headword: Solomon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
King of Jerusalem, son of David from Bathsheba the wife of Uriah: he who married women from the gentiles against the command of God. Of them he had, including the Israelite women, altogether 700 brides and 300 concubines. When he had already passed the prime of life, his mind was turned away by his foreign women towards idolatry: for he served Ashtoreth, a god of the Sidonians, and Chamos, a god of the Ammonites. And out of his thousand women Rehoboam[2] was his only male son, and this son himself took for a wife Naamah the foreign Ammonitess -- he who was unworthy of his empire. For polygamy does not make a breed of goodly children.
