Abstract

The article aims to present some of the most significant concerns regarding ambiguous presentation of King Solomon in 1 Kgs 1–11. An emphasis is made here on a widely recognised image of Solomon’s as a person of great wisdom. This conception is primarily analysed on the basis of the abovementioned passage of the Bible. Study of Solomon’s character is an excellent example of how important it is to take into account God’s person and His will when using one’s wisdom. For this reason, the 1 Kgs 1–11 is still valid and can be viewed as an extensive didactic text on the significance of priorities in the human quest for self -fulfilment.
