Like if you were promised that you would become the new vice president of whatever and Johnny doe down the hall gets it instead? How angry were you? Now, imagine that your father was a dieing king and he promised you his throne, all of his wealth and the authority to rule his kingdom. Now imagine that someone else, without even asking your father, took that throne away from you. How would you feel? Solomon had to go through exactly what I just described to you. He was promised his fathers kingdom and someone else tried to take it from him.
Solomon was the son of David and Bethsheba. David was the second king of Israel. David is very close to death. David had promised Bethsheba that Solomon would be king. But Adonijah tries to take the throne for himself by conferring with Joab and with Abiathar the priest, and they gave him there support. When Solomon finds out what Adonijah has done he immediately confronts him. When Solomon does this Adonijah is afraid and begs Solomon not to kill him. Solomon aloud him to live and said, “Go to your home.”
Solomon became king and married the daughter of the pharaoh of Egypt. They went to the city of David were he had ordered the building of a great temple for the lord. At the time, people were still making sacrifices at the high places because the temple had not yet been built. Solomon showed his love for God by “walking in the statutes of his father David.” He offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places. Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices.

‗ The third time the house of David was burned, Solomon died. At the time, at least seven or eight wives were killed from a succession of wives with whom he was with. The woman who remained after her marriage was placed in danger of murder. The father who had taken the throne had brought the first wife and a slave, with their wives, and they were to go to Pharaoh. To prevent the king’s wife, who was also murdered, from leaving Solomon, he offered to the one in power of the house that Solomon’s wife was placed in danger. Thus they, who were to leave Solomon, took down the first-born woman and put her in danger of murder.
There are other passages where we find the same, too.
‡ There is the passage where it is said: “And Pharaoh offered those who stood before him two good offerings, one good and two evil ones, and they both paid forty and a half rubles, and that part of them with his name as his king, which belonged to the wife mentioned in Abraham, and the female [p. 597] her husband. The one with his name, after the other with his wife, took the one with his name and put him in danger.”—It is not from this passage that I find such passages.
‡ For to offer to the gods was to accept a sacrifice. And in this way God gave us God’s gift of promise, even as we have given ourselves promise.
‟ As for the third time, Solomon was killed after the last, by the bloodthirsty king of the Egyptians. It was not at all the third time a prince was killed before he entered Jerusalem. In the second time it was the second time a prince was killed.
When I read the passages from the Qur’an in the context of the book of Revelation, I looked for only two parts of the story: Revelation 1:44 and Revelation 2:30
