The wisest of all the man

Do you know a man, who was famed for his wisdom? That was a great and powerful King, and his name was Solomon.Before his father David dies, he appoints Solomon as a King, who was 12 years of age at the time. Solomon was told that he must be strong, show himself as a man, and follow the God’s rules. This classic blessing is often quoted by fathers to their sons on the day of their Bar Mitzvah. It restates the cardinal rule that has guided the Jewish people from the time of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.Solomon dies at age 52, ruling as King for 40 years - the best years in all of Israel history - 40 years of peace and prosperity. He lived a happy, long life and had 700 wives and 300 concubines. He is known as a "wisest of all the men." The Bible relates that kings from all over the world came to hear his wisdom, which included not only Torah wisdom, but also wisdom in secular knowledge and science.
Word of this judgment spread throughout Israel, and people marveled at the wisdom of the King.
He created the Solomon’s Temple, also known as the First Temple, was, according to the Bible the first Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and it functioned as a religious focal point for worship and Judaism. King Solomon commenced construction of the temple in the fourth year of his reign and completed it seven years later. Although smaller than any Egyptian temple, King Solomon’s temple was a magnificent edifice that surpassed any preceding temples. King Solomon’s temple was noted for the lavish beauty of its detail and opulence of its furnishings, rather than for its size.
After the death of King Solomon, the kingdom of Israel got broken up into two kingdoms: Israel and Judah. Israel comprised the Ten Tribes, with Ephraim as their leader. The Kingdom of Judah consisted of the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
References to the construction of King Solomon's temple at Jerusalem have been included in the rituals of the operative freemasons since ancient times. In operative lodges the layout of the lodge room in each of the several degrees symbolises either a stone yard or the temple building at one of the various stages of construction. Many aspects of the operative ceremonials and catechisms have been included in the rituals of speculative freemasonry today.
