About This Quote
King Solomon of Israel is a figure that most people think of when they think about sin and temptation. He was a king who wore many crowns and had many wives, some of which were his own daughters. As a leader, he did many things we would consider immoral today; we would consider them unethical. But in his time, and for much of human history, they were the norms of society.
Perhaps even more than anything else, what Solomon needs to be remembered for is his wisdom. He was wiser than anyone else in the ancient world; he had a true understanding of the world around him. His wisdom has been passed down through the ages and has proven itself to be one of the most valuable assets humanity has ever known.
