Solomon had 700 wives and 300 [[concubine]]s,<ref>[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20kings%2011:3&version=31 ''1 Kings 11:3'' NIV]</ref> many for political ties of the day. Over time Solomon's wives turned him away from God. Solomon wrote most of the [[Proverbs]] and the books of [[Ecclesiastes]] and [[Song of Solomon]] are also attributed to him.
