Album Info:

The reign of King Solomon is best known for the grand-scale building activities that then took place, chiefly in Jerusalem 1 Kings 9:14-19. Solomon restored the Millo and completed the fortification of the city, enclosing the Ophel area and Mount Moriah within the city walls. He also built a royal palace near the temple. It was entered through a colonnaded hall, fronting the throne hall of the king 1 Kings 10:18-20. Also, he erected “the House of the Forest of Lebanon”, of unclear function. The relationship between Solomon's palace and David's palace is also obscure, though they probably are related. King Solomon was aided by Hiram, king of Tyre, who sent him building materials and artisans in exchange for agricultural products. The Bible even relates that a zoo was built, as befitted the city's splendor.
