公元前1028年，所羅建立了君主國；他的繼承者大衛於公元前1000年統一了各部落並建都於耶路撒冷。大衛的兒子所羅門把王國發展成為繁榮的商業強國並在耶路撒冷興建了以色列一神教聖殿。
所羅門去世後，國家分裂成南北朝：一個是以色列王國，首都設在撒馬利亞；一個是猶太王國，首都設在耶路撒冷。曆史學家通常是以南部的猶太王國指古代以色列。兩個王國並存兩個世紀之久，由猶太諸王統治，並由先知告誡人們主持社會正義和遵守律法。公元前722年，以色列王國遭亞述人侵占，它的人民被迫流亡（史稱“失掉的十個部落”）。公元前586年，猶太王國被巴比倫人征服，入侵者搗毀了耶路撒冷的聖殿，並將大部分猶太人放逐到巴比倫。
公元前539年，巴比倫帝國被波斯人征服，之後，許多猶太人返回猶大（以色列故土），並在耶路撒冷重建聖殿，猶太人在故土上的生活方式也得以恢複。此後四個世紀，猶太人在波斯人和古希臘人的統治下，享有很大程度的自治權。由於敘利亞塞琉孤王朝強製實行一係列措施，禁止猶太人的宗教信仰，公元前168年終於爆發了由馬加比家族（哈斯蒙尼人）領導的起義，隨後建立了由哈斯蒙尼王朝猶太諸王統治、曆時約80年的獨立猶太王國。
Solomon 所羅門王
Solomon is son and successor of David.Nearly all that is known about him comes from the Bible（1 Kings 1-11 and 2 Chronicles 1-9）.Through the efforts of his mother,Bathsheba,and the prophet Nathan,Solomon was anointed king while David was still alive.On accession to the throne,he liquidated his opponents ruthlessly and installed friends in key posts.He established lsraelite colonies outside his kingdom\\u0027s borders,cooperating with such friendly rulers as the Queen of Sheba to increase commerce.Fortification of his far-flung empire necessitated a vast building program,the crowning achievement of which was the Temple of Jerusalem.He reorganized the nation into 12 tribes with 12 administrative districts.It is said that he had a harem of 700 wives and 300 concubines.After the ascension to the throne of his son Rehoboam,the northern tribes seceded and formed their own kingdom of lsrael,bringing an end to Solomon\\u0027s empire.His legendary wisdom is recorded in the Book of Proverbs,and he is traditionally named as the author of the biblical Song of Solomon.He was regarded as the greatest king of lsrael.
所羅門王是大衛的兒子和繼承者。幾乎所有關於他的記載都來自《聖經》（《列王紀》第1～11章和《曆代誌》第1～9章）。通過其母親拔示巴和先知拿單的努力，所羅門在大衛在世時被施以塗油禮。登基後，他無情的消滅敵人，將親友安排到重要職位上。他在王國邊界之外建立了以色列殖民地，和希巴女王等友好的統治者合作，以期促進商業。其龐大王國的防禦工事需要大的建築計劃，其中最壯觀的就是耶路撒冷聖殿。他重新劃分整個國家，分成十二個部落，分別處於十二個行政區。據說他有七百個妻子和三百多個妾。其子羅霍博姆繼位後，北部部落分離出去，形成以色列王國，結束了所羅門帝國的輝煌。其傳奇式的智慧都被記錄在《舊約》的《箴言》中，據說他是聖經所羅門之歌的作者，還被認為是以色列最偉大的國王。
King Solomon\\u0027s Treasure 所羅門王的寶藏
Around 1000 BC,the Jewish leader David captured Jerusalem,put it as their capital and estalblished a unified Jewish kingdom.Jews played the Canaanite language of the city into Mingxibolai and called it“Utah Rosa Ram.”Chinese translated it as“Jerusalem.”“Jesus Road”means a“city”，“Salem”means a“peace”，combine them together,that means“city of peace.”Jerusalem Arabs are accustomed to call it as“Goodstone”，which means“holy”.lt is King David\\u0027s son Solomon who built Jerusalem into a capital to be worthy of its name,He started massive construction projects in Jerusalem and the construction of a series of city buildings；one of the most famous is a great Jewish temple.This temple is 200 meters in length，100 meters in wiath.It took them seven years to complete.This temple has became the eyes of the Jewish Holy Land.Since then,Jews began to regard Jerusalem as their holy city.
Solomon built the Jewish Temple on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,surrounded by a stone wall.According to legend,the most precious of sacred Jewish gold“Ark of the Covenant”and“Sinai Code”are placed in the temple of the church.
Gold“Ark of the Covenant，”filled with divine sayings from the Lord God of lsrael who was worshopped mosthy.It was received by Moses on the top of the mountain in the sinai.God has also granted a set of codes and canons to Moses that lsraelites must abide by an the time and for everything.Moses received the divine sayings and“Sinai Code”，then let the two craftsmen made a special money box of gold,which is gold“Ark of the Covenant.”
In addition to the highest Jewish elders（ie priests）have the right to enter the church once a year,to visit sacred objects,the other person are not allowed to enter any church.
Solomon is very rich.lt is said that Solomon won the tribute from the dependent country every year,it is equal to the Gold of 666 taran（1 Taran is equal to 150 kilograms）.Solomon plundered his gold and silver and kept them in the temple,which is called“treasures”of Solomon ，it passed one generation to generation.
Because of Solomon\\u0027s death,the Jewish Kingdom split into two countries—Jewish and Israel.Israel hasn\\u0027t the center of religious,the priests are to Jerusalem，”Jewish Temple“for sacrifice,Christians are still a pilgrimage here,as the only sacred—”Ark of the“Covenant”is still here.
To 590 BC,New King of Babylonian,Nebuchadnezzar ll invade again the Jewish,after Jerusalem were trapped three years,and finally captured by the Babylonian army in 586 BC,the whole palace and the temple was destroyed；a large number of Jews were brought to Babylon,which is the so-called“prisoners of Babylon.”Since then,the priceless treasures lost—“ark of the covenant the Lord”and“treasures of Solomon”.
For thousands of years,many people want tofind the“Ark of the Covenant”and“treasures of Solomon”，until today,it still no results.
大約在公元前1000年左右，猶太人的首領大衛攻占了耶路撒冷，並把它作為自己的首都，建立了統一的猶太王國。猶太人把迦南人所起的城名希伯萊語化，叫做“猶羅薩拉姆”，漢語譯為“耶路撒冷”。“耶路”是“城市”的意思，“撒冷”是“和平”的意思，合起來也就是“和平之城”。阿拉伯人則習慣把耶路撒冷叫做“古德斯”，也就是“聖城”的意思。把耶路撒冷建成一座名副其實的都城的人，是大衛王的兒子所羅門王。他在耶路撒冷大興土木，建造了一係列的城市建築，其中最為著名的是一座巨大的猶太教聖殿。聖殿長200多米，寬100多米，用了7年的時間才建成，是猶太人心目中的聖地。從此，猶太教徒也開始把耶路撒冷視為自己的聖城。
所羅門的猶太教聖殿建在耶路撒冷的錫安山上，周圍還築了一道石牆。相傳，猶太教最為珍貴的聖物金“約櫃”和“西奈法典”就放在聖殿的聖堂裏。
金“約櫃”裏裝著以色列人最崇拜的上帝耶和華的聖諭。這是當年摩西在西奈山頂上得到的。上帝還授予摩西一套法典和教規，要求以色列人時時事事都要遵守照辦。摩西得到聖諭和“西奈法典”後，就讓兩個能工巧匠用黃金特製了一個金櫃，這就是金“約櫃”。
除了猶太教的最高長老（即祭司長）有權每年一次進入聖堂，探視聖物外，其他任何人不得進入聖堂。
所羅門極為富有。據說，所羅門每年在各個屬國征收相當於666塔蘭黃金（1塔蘭相當於150公斤）的貢品。他將所搜刮的金銀財寶都存放在聖殿裏，這就是曆代相傳的“所羅門珍寶”。
所羅門死後，猶太王國分裂成猶太國和以色列。由於以色列沒有宗教中心，祭司們都到耶路撒冷的“猶太聖殿”獻祭，教民們也仍然到這裏朝聖，因為唯一的聖物——“約櫃”仍在這裏。
到了公元前590年，新巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒二世第二次進兵猶太，耶路撒冷在被困3年以後，終於在公元前586年被巴比倫軍隊攻占，王宮和聖殿全被燒毀，大批的猶太人被押送到巴比倫，這就是前麵所謂的“巴比倫之囚”。從此，無價之寶金“約櫃”和“所羅門寶藏”下落不明。
幾千年來，許多人都想找到金“約櫃”和“所羅門寶藏”，但直到今天，仍無結果。
