Solomon was not the logical heir to the throne, but David conferred it upon him instead of his older brothers, and in doing so he committed no wrong according to Israelitish ideas.
Solomon was eighteen years old when he ascended the throne, or at least no older than this, and his successful reign of forty years speaks well for his intelligence, ability, and statesmanship.
Solomon formed with him a commercial treaty, surrendering certain towns on the northern frontier (1 Kings 9:11) in exchange for floats of timber conveyed to Jappa and skilled workmen lent him for wood-carving, stone-fashioning, and bronze-casting.
Solomon was the builder of the Temple in Jerusalem and the first king of Israel to trade commercial goods profitably to other nations, the author of Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes.
Solomon's rise met with widespread approval from the people, but David's officials were slow to accept the new king.
The result was a division of Solomon's United Kingdom into two separate nations - the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel.
