The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that in the beginning the Lord God created the heavens and the earth. On the 1st day, the Lord God proclaimed light to come to pass, and the Lord God saw the beautiful light, and the Lord God divided a separation between the light and the darkness. On the 4th day, the Lord God proclaimed lights in the expanded surface of the sky to separate day from night, and for signs, appointed times, days, years, light in the expanded surface of the sky, and light over the earth. On the 6th day, the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Solomon was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Adam and Eve's son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Solomon was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. During Solomon's reign, the Lord God appeared to Solomon in a dream and spoke to Solomon. Solomon made a specific request and the Lord God gave Solomon a wise and discerning heart, wisdom, knowledge, and unparalleled riches, honor and wealth. Solomon is widely recognized as the divinely inspired writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Holy Bible. Over 900 years after Solomon became married to 700 idol worshiping princesses and became an idolater, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-14:31, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Ecclesiastes, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
