Based on a script by Bradley T. Winter, “Solomon” tells the story of the rise and fall of King David’s wise son; the struggle with his treacherous brother, the construction of the temple in Jerusalem, and his love for the Queen of Sheba.
Just before King David’s death, a quarrel erupts between his two sons Adonijah and Solomon over whom is to succeed him. Solomon finally emerges as the victor. He marries many foreign wives, and grants them freedom to practice their different religions in Israel.
One of these women, the attractive and mysterious Queen of Sheba, is the true love of Solomon’s life. The final years of Solomon’s rule are marked by disagreements and quarrels resulting from his introduction of foreign religions to Israel..
