Song of Solomon

How old was Solomon when he wrote Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon? When he wrote Song of Solomon, was he still only married to his first of 300 wives and 700 concubines? How many wives and concubines did he have at that particular time, when he wrote it? I have trouble with his writing Song of Solomon to be a love story between one man and one woman, when he had sex with about 1000 women, while the woman he writes about only has sex with only one man - him. And that's supposed to be love??? Yes, I know that Song of Solomon also is an analogy of Christ and the church. And yes, I do believe that it is part of God's inspired (God-breathed) Word of God. I just don't understand it, that's all. I do know that God created only one man and only one woman to be married to each other, and have sex with only each other. |

Greetings ILoveJesus!
So do I :-)! I was waiting to see if anybody else wanted to take a stab at your questions, but no one else has thus far, so I will.
1) I don't think anyone knows how old Solomon was when he wrote these three books. He must have been king by this time. He had children at the time he wrote Proverbs. And, he was probably older when he wrote Ecclesiastes, since it expresses what appears to be a more "mature" view of life. But, no one reallys knows his exact age.
2) He probably was married many times over when he wrote these books. It is important to understand two points about these multiple marriages.
A) It was the political custom of the time to use marriages to cement alliances with other nations. This doesn't make it morally right, but it was the culture that Solomon lived in.
B) Scripture is written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the pens of normal humans. Solomon's life definitely didn't measure up to the beautiful love expressed in the Song of Songs, but that is to be expected. Even if Solomon had only been married to one woman, his life still would not have measured up to the ideal expressed in Scripture.
I hope this helps!
Your Brother in Christ,

Song of Solomon
|
| |
Solomon was the tenth son of David and the third king of Israel. His reign spanned forty years, around 1,000 B.C. Solomon is noted for his wealth, his wisdom, and his building programs. He is traditionally credited with having written the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, and most of the Proverbs. The main Biblical source on his life and times is recorded in the first 11 chapters of 1 Kings. For additional information you may find it helpful to consult a reliable Bible dictionary, a study Bible or commentary, and read the introductions contained in most study and reference Bibles to the three books ascribed to him. If you are doing an essay on King Solomon, I'd urge you to read, in addition to the other reference materials, his three aforementioned books that are a part of Scripture. And, please, make an "A" on it :-) --Hank |

Dear sexyjbrowneyes@aol.com,
The NIV Study Bible has a "Profile" for Solomon and it reads:
"Solomon
Name Means: "Peace"
Occupation: King of Israel
Best Known For:
1. His Legendary, God-given wisdom
2. His Incredible Wealth
3. Giving in to the whims of his numerous pagan wives"
"Solomon was the son of David and Bath-sheba, and became the 3rd king of Israel."
"It was apparently at the very beginning of his reign that Solomon made his famous choice of a “hearing heart,” i.e. an obedient heart, in preference to riches or long life. The vision took place at Gibeon (2 Ch 1:7, but in 1 Ki 3:4 f the ancient versions read “upon the altar that was in Gibeon. And the Lord appeared,” etc.). The life of Solomon was a curious commentary on his early resolution. One of the first acts of his reign was apparently, in the style of the true oriental monarch, to build himself a new palace, that of his father being inadequate for his requirements. In regard to politics, however, the events of Solomon’s reign may be regarded as an endorsement of his choice. Under him alone was the kingdom of Israel a great world-power, fit almost to rank beside Assyria and Egypt. Never again were the bounds of Israel so wide; never again were north and south united in one great nation. There is no doubt that the credit of this result is due to the wisdom of Solomon.
Solomon was by nature an unwarlike person, and his whole policy was in the direction of peace. He disbanded the above-mentioned foreign legion, the Cherethites and Pelethites, who had done such good service as bodyguard to his father. All his officers seem to have been mediocre persons who would not be likely to force his hand, as Joab had done that of David (2 Sam 3:39). Even the fortification of Jerusalem and of the frontier towns was undertaken with a view to repel attack, not for the purposes of offense. Solomon did, no doubt, strengthen the army, especially the cavalry arm (1 Ki 4:26; 10:26), but he never made any use of this, and perhaps it existed largely on paper. At any rate Solomon seems to have been rather a breeder of and dealer in horse-flesh than a soldier. He appears also to have had a fine collection of armor (1 Ki 10:25), but much of it was made of gold (1 Ki 10:16 f) and was intended for show, not for use. Both in his reputation for wisdom and in his aversion to war Solomon bears a striking resemblance to King James VI of Scotland and I of England, as depicted by the hand of Sir Walter Scott. It was fortunate for him that both the neighboring great powers were for the time in a decadent state, otherwise the history of the kingdom of Israel would have ended almost before it had begun. On the other hand, it has been remarked that if Solomon had had anything like the military genius of David and his enthusiasm for the religion of Yahweh, he might have extended the arms of Israel from the Nile to the Tigris and anticipated the advent of Islam. But his whole idea was to secure himself in peace, to amass wealth and indulge his love of grandeur with more than oriental splendor." (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

Hello Crysty!
Song of Solomon
1:12; 4:13,14 "perfume" (or "spikenard" in NKJV) See Mark 14:3; John 12:3
1:13; 3:6; 4:6,14; 5:1,5,13 "myrrh" - See Esther 2:12, Proverbs 7:17, Psalm 45:8, Exodus 30:23 and Matthew 2:2,11.
1:14; 4:13 "henna blooms" A shrub of the Holy Land whose white, spring blossoms give off a fragrant scent. I cannot find a NT reference.
2:1 "rose of Sharon" Probably a bulb flower like crocus, narcissus, iris or daffodil growing in the low country (plain of Sharon), south of Mt. Carmel. I cannot find this at any other place in the Bible.
2:3,5; 7:8; 8:5 "apple" an aromatic, sweet fruit, possibly an apricot. I cannot find a NT reference.

7:13 "mandrakes" - a pungently fragrant herb considered to be an aphrodisiac (Gen. 30:14). For more on "mandrakes", such use the "Search" function to the right and type in 'mandrake'.
I hope this helps!

ABOUT SONG OF SONGS OF GOD:
Dear brothers and sisters,the song of songs in the old testament is not the real song of songs of God,which is known as to belong to Solomon.Its just a verse who knows about ways of solomon.and some of the items in it surely tells us very certain knowledge about Solomon.the real song of songs of God ,which is said to be given to Solomon is Quran of moslems today.Mohammad of Makka ,most probably,replaced himself for the real prophet of the real song of songs,who is Solomon ,and which is Quran.Quran means "reading",and it is a "melodic" reading.Quran is a song ,Quran is the song .Quran is the song of songs,which is said to belong to Solomon.
Most interestingly,Mohammad of Mekke uses ,as the starting Statement,opening statement for the verses while starting reading the verses of Quran,,he uses A STATEMENT WHICH BELONGS TO SOLOMON IN QURAN.It passes only one time with Solomon,and Mohammad of Mekke ,so-called Quran prophet,used it as the starting statement of Quran reading.But that statement has a lot great secrets in it which makes it to belong to Solomon.SO, WHY DID MOHAMMAD OF MEKKE USED IT???COZ HE KNEW QURAN WAS THE REAL SONG OF SONGS WHICH IS SAID TO BELONG TO SOLOMON.

Greetings Solomon!
Would you care to demonstrate from the Bible that being circumcized is a sin?
Further, as Christians, we reject that Mohammad was a prophet of God since he taught that Jesus was just another prophet and not God in the flesh as Scripture teaches.

SONG OF SOLOMON AND SOLOMON
Song of Solomon in the old testament is not the real song of songs.its just an inspiration to the writer of the verse,who knows about King Solomon and that Solomon King would be given a song.Surely it contains nearly true clues about Solomon King . But even the love stories of Caucasus there are almost true inspirations about King Solomon's Love and about His Manliness.
Also,solomon was the male part of hieros gamos,the female part of Hieros gamos was namely Sheba queen or Moon Goddess.also there is an important role of Phoenix, related to King Solomon.Solomon paid for Hiram ,and He was the one paid for Sheba Queen as well.Templum Solomoniss,so-called of which ruin exists now in Israel ,is not the real templum solomoniss.Templum Solomoniss,Megalo Ecclecsia,is not walls,isnot stones,is not the carpets ao golden covering the tomb of the Ecclessia,but,it!s the spirit in the Templum Solomonis,Which in fact of which honor belongs to King David,Lord of Lords and ,the king of kings,The Pegasus,the white horse,the leo of God, the fiddler on the roof,and the piper in the mice town,also the cozmic commander,friend of good seraph and Holy Michael and the Beloved of God Allmighty.Thats all for now coz i am tired.:)) x

General moslems neither claim nor know anything about the ancient history.Their all existence bases on fundamentalism,hatred,and murdering of others.If they may find a chance to relate the ancient history to murdering ,why not to deal with it.
But your question is also nonsence.it seems to me that u dunno anything about real religion tradition.U is jealous of other people for the religion of God? Moslems do it very well.I dont want such capricious words again.

Song of Solomon
|

All Love stories, told and written later mostly in Caucasus and around Holy Mount of Solomon,Ararat are inspirations about the love of Solomon.These stories are ,examplifying ,Romeo and Juliette,Leyla vü Mecnun,Kerem ile Aslý etc.many in Caucasus, around Holy Mount Ararat.Even our holy books tell these stories,examplifying,in song of songs,"sheba sl. and solomon story" in Quran.(This sheba queen must be a false Goddess to live love with solomon)or her love must be false),and hieros gamos (there is also a relationships between holy wedding and sheba woman and moon goddess).But what i cant understand is why Bible students relates the love story in song of solomon to jesus and church.why not solomon but jesus.i feel a relation between ecclessia and us,or the prophet ,coz temple of solomon, and love of solomon is famous,so we may relate the two famous things :temple,love and wedding.but why is it attributed to Jesus and not to solomon.and Ararat and The Dove on Ararat are related to Jesus by the students of Bible.Dove is the mythic symbol for solomon, and Ararat is the mount of Solomon,which Noah's boat also is said to be landing.

Who could argue with that?
Since your post is totally unintelligible, incomprehensible and without either sense or meaning, it is impossible to agree or disagree with it. Next time you write a post, include some clues as to your meaning. If you're going to write total and complete babbling gibberish, there is no point in posting it. Come back when you have something to say.
If you are a patient in an institution, that's different. In that case, never mind. |

Scripture ... Song of Solomon, Exo 34:16; Deu 7:3-4; Jos. 23:12-13; 2 Cor 6:14 ...
Grace7044, The Bible does not forbid interracial marriage. Solomon married a Shumanite (black) woman.
The Israelites were commanded not to intermarry (Exo 34:16; Deu 7:3-4; Jos. 23:12-13) and we are told not to be unequally yoked (2 Cor 6:14). But, this is because of differences in religion (inward), not skin pigment or anything outward.

Here are two *re-posts* from the Forum's past that I put here a while back, having to do with Interracial marriage.
"Is Interracial marriage supported in the Bible?
I have wondered myself if the Bible supports or does not support marriage between two people of a different race (I am referring to a Male/Female marriage of course, since homosexuality and lesbianism is forbidden [Gen. 19:5; Lev. 18:22-23,20:13; Deut. 23:17; Judg. 19:22-24; 1 Kings 14:24,15:12; Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10]. Polygamy is also forbidden [Lev. 18:18; Deut. 17:17; Titus 1:6]).
Now you must understand me: I have a great and healthy respect for all people since we are all one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). In fact, skin color is the Creator's choice (Jer. 13:23), and a black man named Simon (of Cyrene, which was a city in North Africa) helped Jesus carry His cross (Mark 15:21). I have many friends who are of a different race than I am and that is not the aim or goal of this discussion. My question is: Does the Bible permit people of different race to intermarry?
First of all, there are situations in the Bible that condemn interracial marriage. Isaac sought a wife from his own father's family (Gen. 24:1-4)and so did Jacob (Gen. 27:46-28:2). The Israelites were commanded not to intermarry (Ex. 34:16; Deut. 7:3-4; Ezra 9:1-2,12; Neh. 10:30, 13:23-27; Josh. 23:12-13), but this was mostly on the basis of leading the people astray through foreign gods (Mal. 2:11; Deut. 17:17; 1 Cor. 7:39).
However, God did permit the Israelites to marry foreign women in other situations: captives from war (Deut. 21:10-13), and because of a 'shortage' of women (Judges 21:21-23). Timothy, the youthful early church leader, was a half-Jew (Acts 16:1) and Moses's wife Zipporah was an Ethiopian woman (Num. 12:1).
The Bible does not clearly state whether or not God's people should marry interracially, but it does say that the partner should be a believer in Christ (1 Cor. 7:39, 2 Cor. 6:14). It is interesting to note that all nations and people are important to God (Amos 9:7) and having black skin is beautiful (Song Of Solomon 1:5-6). Jesus usurped the racist traditions of the Israelites(Matt. 15:21-28; Luke 10:25-37) and the Bible even speaks of 'hatred without reason' (Psalm 69:4) and anti-Semitism (Esther 3:8-9, 5:10-14). Also, Gentiles are despised, the Israelites are despised (Gen. 43:32) and foreigners are excluded from fellowship (Neh. 13:1-3). The Bible also encourages freedom from slavery (1 Cor. 7:21; The book of Exodus).
In conclusion, interracial marriage is not against the will of God based upon the Bible. It remains a question of being yoked/unequally yoked in fellowship with God Himself and choosing a husband/wife that will help you to enrich your walk in the Lord (1 Cor. 7:35)." (Nolan Keck)
"What does the Bible teach about interracial marriages?
Nothing in the New Testament prohibits interracial marriage. Christians are at liberty to marry whomever they wish--as long as the other person is also a Christian (1 Corinthians 7:39).
The Old Testament contained some restrictions on whom the Israelites could marry. These were meant to protect the people of God from pagan influences (Deut. 7:3-4) and to guard the purity of the Aaronic priesthood (Lev. 21:13-14). There were even some strict regulations about inter-tribal marriage, designed to keep the various tribes' inheritance from being lost by intermarriage (Num. 36:3-9). All such restrictions are explicitly annulled by the New Testament (Gal. 3:27-29)."
