Solomon

Solomon was born around 990 BCE, the son of David and Bathsheba, the woman David had taken in adultery, whose first son died as divine judgment. That Solomon inherited the throne despite being neither the eldest nor the most obvious heir reflects the palace intrigues that surrounded David's final years. When God appeared to Solomon in a dream at Gibeon and offered him anything he wished, Solomon asked not for long life, wealth, or victory over enemies, but for wisdom to govern. The request pleased God, who gave him wisdom and everything else besides. His most famous judgment, the two mothers and the disputed baby, demonstrated not just cleverness but psychological insight: he designed a procedure that revealed truth through the parties' own reactions. Solomon's reign marked Israel's golden age.

Solomon is best known as a ruler. Biblical king famed for wisdom, temple building, diplomacy, and trade networks.

Solomon lived c. 970-931 BCE, during the ancient period.

There is no verified IQ score for Solomon — modern IQ testing only began in 1905, and the numbers attached to historical figures online are retrospective estimates, not real test results. Psychologists have occasionally published such estimates from biographical evidence, but historians treat them as speculation. The better measure of Solomon's mind is the record itself, and you can explore it firsthand by asking the AI Solomon how they thought through their hardest decisions.
