King Solomon is remembered as the wisest ruler in ancient history, a king whose insight brought peace, wealth, and greatness to Israel. In this documentary, we explore the rise of Solomon, his legendary wisdom, the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem, and the prosperity that defined his reign.

But Solomon’s story is not only one of success. As wealth and power grew, compromise followed, leading to spiritual decline and the eventual division of the kingdom after his death.

This video examines Solomon’s life as both an achievement and a warning—showing how wisdom can build a nation, and how excess can unravel it.
