He is written about in the Quran, Baha'i scripture and the Bible. (2 Samuel). He was the author of several Old Testament books. He wrote Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs and much of Proverbs. He is famous for building the first temple, having lots of wisdom, being very rich, and having many wives. Because of his wives, though, his kingdom became divided right after his death. His wives worshiped idol gods. Furthermore they worship idol gods because many of them where not of Jewish lineage.
