how long did solomon live
Born in 848 BCE, Solomon dies at age 52 in 796 BCE, ruling as king for 40 years -- the best years in all of Israel's history -- 40 years of peace and prosperity.He is known as chacham mi'kol ha'adam, wisest of all the men..or a wife of King Solomon, prophet, wisest of all men, King of Israel, to worship idols is an inexcusable mistake that Solomon is held directly accountable for. In his old age, his wives turned away Solomon's heart after other gods. (1 Kings 11:4-5).
