Solomon was the third king of Israel who ruled during the 10th century BCE. He is credited with building the First Temple in Jerusalem, writing the Book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and possessing wisdom so great that rulers traveled from distant lands to seek his counsel.

What Is Ecclesiastes?

Ecclesiastes is one of the most philosophically profound books in the Bible. Its narrator declares that all human striving is vanity — temporary and ultimately meaningless.
