Biography
The legend, which helps some people cope with stressful situations, states that Tsar Solomon lived a long time ago. The life of this wise ruler was not calm, so he turned to the court philosopher for advice. The thinker told his lord about the magic ring that did not have the price, on which "everything passes".
"When a strong anger or strong joy falls back, look at this inscription, and she sobs you. In this you will find salvation from passions! ", - said the king sage.Much time passed, Solomon packed his anger with this precious gift. But once, looking at this laconic inscription, Solomon did not calm down, but on the contrary, it went out of myself. And then the angry king ripped the ring from the finger in the hope of throwing out of his way into the pond, but I noticed that it was written on the reverse side "and it will pass."
As for the biography of King Solomon, disputes are going to this day. Some believe that David's Son lived in fact, others are confident that the wise ruler is biblical falsification. Be that as it may, Solomon is an integral Character of Christian and Islamic (Suleiman) religions, which left a trace in culture: its image is used in picturesque paintings, prose, verses, films and cartoons.
The origin of King Solomon
Solomon was born in 1011 BC. in Jerusalem. The only source indicating the reality of the existence of the legendary ruler of the combined Israeli kingdom is the Bible. Therefore, confirm or refute whether Solomon is a historical personality, biographers and scientists can not to this day.
Judging by the description of God's book, Solomon is the son of the second king of Israel David. According to the new Testament, the Messiah from the genus David on the male line is Jesus Christ.
Until the seeker, David was a simple shepherd, at the same time she showed himself a man not only kind and trusty, but also strong and bold: to protect his sheep, he could deal with his bare hands with a lion or bear.
The parents of Solomon, Baths, accounted for the daughter of Eliam and according to the Bible, possessed rare appearance: David, who walked in his possessions, saw Bathing Bathsavia, and her beauty struck the king. Therefore, David ordered to deliver the girl you like, who at that time was considered the wife of Uria Hetteyanin - a military personnel in the army of David, to the palace. Virsavia got pregnant, and then the cunning David ordered the Hetteyanin warlod in a letter so that his beloved spouse did not return from the battlefield alive:
"Put urius where the strongest battle will be, and retreat from him, so that he is amazed and died" (Samuel book 11:15).After this incident, David acquired ill-wishers, and Nafan (Nathan), which is in the Holy Scripture as a prophet and one of the authors of the book of kingdoms, cursed the leader, conquer his future to fratricide conflicts.
Later, David repented in his treacherous act and kneeling forgiveness from God. The Prophet said that the Lord forgave the other person who wished his death, however, he recalled:
"... the lamb must pay fourly."Thus, in the life of David there was a lot of bitterness and sorrow: his younger son died, and the daughter of Flamar was raped by the son of Amnon (who died of his native brother). At the time limit, the king was born her son. By sending Spromon's offspring, David and Bathsvia predetermined the future of the son, because the name of CHOLOMO translated from Hebrew meant "Peace" (ie, "not war"). In fact, Solomon was afraid of armed conflict, so during the reigns did not use a numerous army.
The second symbolic name of Solomon - Iedidia (translated as "beloved God") - given him in honor of the condescension of the Most High to David, who admitted that he made one of the seven death sins - adultery. Wirzavia was a pious woman who always remained in the shade. The beloved leader of the Israeli people was not immediately in the details of the policy, but was engaged in raising children.
Beginning of the Board
According to the legend, not paying attention to the fact that Solomon was the last of the sons of David, the king wanted to make the younger offspring with his receiver. But also for power, the eldest son Adony struggled, having the right to do this, because the ancient traditions of the crown belonged to him. Therefore, the true heir created a special teleper detachment headed by Jooh and Aviafar. And, taking advantage of the weakness of the parent, tried to attract Nathan, the brave Vaneya and the royal guard, but did not receive support from David's subjects.
David learned from the mouth of the Prophet about the current conspiracy, so he managed to anoint the world of Solomon to the reign in order to convey to him necessary to manage the country of the gift of the Holy Spirit. At the same time, God set the condition to the autocrat, so that he would in any way shy away from the ministry of the Most High. Having received a promise, the Creator endowed Solomon wisdom and patience.
There is a legend of Solomon Court, which proves the rationality of the ruler. Two women came to the king with a selection to determine who had a true mother's mother. And then Solomon gave a cruel advice: do not argue, but to cut the child in half, so that each gets half. One of the parishioners said that let it be so, and the other fell into panic and despair. Thus, Solomon resolved the debate and found out who is a true parent, and who only pretends.
Therefore, the usurpactor attempts of Adony were doomed to Fiasco: the young man ran and found his refuge in the tabernacle. It is worth noting that the newly connected king forgave his brother and ordered to pardon, but the fate of his associates of Joava and Aviafar was sad: the first was executed, and the second was sent to the link. However, Adonia could not avoid harsh punishment, because he tried to take himself to Avisagu Sunshatyanka, the servant of the king of David, asking Brasevia to apply for him before Solomon. But the wise king found that his brother again wishes to declare his rights to the throne and ordered to execute Adonia.
Internal and foreign policy
Getting rid of a dynastic competitor, Solomon became a full ruler of Israel. The wise king for political purposes took into his wife Pharaoh Sheshonka I, since Egypt at all times was considered a country with exceptional fertility and unrelated wealth (it is only possible to recall the Treasures of Cleopattra Tsaritsa).
Having made the proposal of the hands and hearts by the Nile Beauty, the Jewish ruler received a Tel-Heger in Israel - a biblical city in Israel (under Tremame III, the country was dependent on the Egyptian rulers, so the city was adjusted to the Egyptians). Also, the king also received the king at the expense of the Via Regia trading path ("Tsarskaya Road"), which began from Egypt and stretched to Damascus.
It is also known that Solomon supported friendly relations with the Phoenician king of Hiram I Great. When David's son became a full-fledged ruler, he began to execute the will, left by his father, and began to build a temple. Therefore, Solomon asked to assist in Hiram, who had unable wealth, therefore, the rulers concluded a union among themselves.
The Phoenician king sent Cedar Solomon, cypress, gold, as well as builders, and in return received olive oil and wheat grain. However, the construction of the temple left Solomon in debt, so the leader of the Jewish people gave the chiram part of the southern lands.
Among other things, there is a tale of the Tsaritsa Sava, who, having learned about the wisdom of the ruler of the Israeli kingdom, decided to experience Solomon to riddles. It is concerned that after the visit of the queen, Israel became a prosperous and rich gold country:
"And she presented the king one hundred and twenty gold talents and the great set of incense and precious stones" (3-king. 10: 2-10).It is worth noting that this biblical plot in the future became a reflection to create legends and legends. Some writers decorated this story with a love tie of Solomon with his unexpected guest from Sabey, but in the holy book about the "weekly" relations of the Tsaritsa Sava and the Son David silent. It is known that Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
End of Board and Death
It is noteworthy that the king was a wise politician, during his reign, he managed to end the hunger, as well as buried the ax of the war between the Jews and the Egyptians. The Bible states that the beloved wife of Solomon was an innovative alien. Therefore, the tricky woman persuaded the beloved to build a pagan altar, which became an apple of discord between the Almighty and the ruler.
For this, the oppressed god promised to the autocrat that after his reign on Israel wures misfortunes. But shortly before the death of Solomon in the country, everything was not cloudless: due to construction projects, the royal treasury was empty, and the uprisings of Edomyan and Arameyan began (conquered peoples).
Talmud says that Solomon lived 52 years old. The king died at the moment when he watched the construction of a new altar. To eliminate lethargic sleep, the leader's body has not betrayed the earth for a long time.
Bible and mythology
According to ancient legends, after the World Flood, which destroyed the highly developed state of Atlantis, the human civilization had to line up again. As the new society develops, people found the remains of past culture, among which were also technological advances.
The knowledge gained and artifacts were expensive as they contributed to the progressive development of those states that they were acquired. As a result, there was a need to transfer them in such a way that all knowledge remained secret from simple, not close to the management of people.
Therefore, among the rulers, a ban on written fixation of knowledge was taken, all the information was transferred from mouth to mouth. King Solomon was the first leader who recorded all the accumulated esoteric knowledge from different traditions in writing. Of the well-known works of the king, his treatise "Solomon's keys" reached us. Small Key consists of five sections, one of them, "Goetie" describes 72 demons, which in the current science it is customary to be human hormones.
These papers have gained popularity due to the original way of reading information - for the convenience of perception, some of the information in the manuscript is drawn by schemes and signs. Among these drawings, "Solomon Circle" are of great importance (it is a model of the planet Earth and used to be used in despondency) and the Star of Solomon (based on Indian Teaching about Chakrah, used in amulets). It is also believed that Solomon became the author of the "Book of Ecclesiast", "Song Solomon songs", "Books of Solomon".
