Solomon, son of David and king of Israel, reigned forty years after his father. The Cave of Treasures records that he married seven hundred free-born women and three hundred concubines but had a son only from Naamah the Ammonitess, that he sent ships to Ophir for gold which returned after thirty-six months, and that he built Tadmor in the wilderness.

In the Kebra Nagast the Queen of the South went to Jerusalem to hear his wisdom by God's command, and Solomon is said to have received her and fathered Menyelek, the firstborn who became Emperor of Ethiopia. The Ascension of Isaiah refers to the Proverbs of Solomon his son alongside the Psalms of David.
