How Wealthy was King Solomon?

You may know that Solomon was rich, but how much would he lived today? How does he compare to people like Bill Gates, Al gore and the medieval African Mansa Musa?

According to 2 Chronicles 9:13 Solomon, as a King gained "over twenty-five tons of gold" every year. 

1 ton = 907.185 kilograms 
25 tons = 22679.625 kilograms 

1 kilogram = $38648.41 (us)
22679.625 kilograms = $876531445.646

So, in terms of today's (June 19, 2015) currency Solomon had $876531445.646 as a monarch
 to use for building projects. And that's only for one year. The record doesn't even include trade 
revenue taxes for merchants or gifts. Were told Solomon reigned for forty years but it isn't clear 
when Solomon started making more than twenty-five tons of gold. I'm going to assume that 
Solomon only began making so much money after twenty years of his reign; I make this 
assumption because some major sources of his revenue appear to come after The Temple 
and his palace was built. For example his marriage to Pharaoh's daughter and his ships setting 
out for Ophir. 

$876531445.646*20 is...
$17,530628912.9 US (which would put him 51st on Forbes current list.)
$21,542951605.34 (Canadian) 
67,107247478.58 (Israeli shekel)
15,464426915.72 (Euro)
11,037701192.53 (British pounds)         


It's worth noting however that Solomon as King of a Kingdom that stretched from the wadi to Egypt (in the north-central Sinai area) to the river Euphrates he was obligated to spend money on repairing and fortifying cities, making sure the military was up to shape and making sure every Israelite in the Kingdom has some level of quality of life. Imagine if your country's income went to one individual who choose to give to his people at will. 

Sadly for Israel the United Kingdom would be divided and also raided by Pharaoh 

Sheshonq within one hundred years after Solomon's death. Sheshonq left this as an undeniable proof: 

Who was Eshbaal?

As you may be aware Israeli archaeologists found an inscription dating back to between 1000-900 BC. It read "Eshbaal Ben Beda". There was a Eshbaal who was one of the sons of King Saul of Israel, but it's clearly not the same guy as the one in the Bible. How do we know this? Well it's rather easy; in Hebrew Ben means "son of". So when translated it means Eshbaal son of Beda, while the Prince would have been called Eshbaal son of Saul. The find is still significant because it proves the name was being used around the time of King Saul.

However, this is still a great opportunity to discuss who Eshbaal was and why he was one of the more significant figures of the Bible though he is rarely ever discussed. 

Eshbaal was born in about 1050 BC as a member of the tribe of Benjamin; his father Saul became King of the twelve tribes, his mother was named Ahinoam. He had three brothers, one of which was the well-known Johnathan (the beloved friend of David.) In 1010 BC he lost his father and three of his brothers during a battle between the Philistines and his own people, the Israelites. Which can be read about here.


As David was accepted as the King of the tribe of Judah, Eshbaal was accepted as King over the other eleven tribes at age forty. This bought a conflict between the Hebrew people. The two sides came together to settle the dispute for who should rightfully reign over the twelve tribes. 

The two sides sat across from each other at a pool in the city of Gibeon. Then Abner (the military commander of the eleven tribes) said to Joab (Judah's commander) "Let’s have some of the young men get up and fight hand to hand in front of us." Joab agreed. They brought out twelve men from both sides and lined them up facing each other. During the melee that followed all men drew their daggers, plunged it into their enemies sides and died. 

The conflict quickly exalted to an all out war which became one of the most dramatically told wars in the entire Bible. It begins here. 

Eshbaal's life ended two years after becoming King; he was struck in the stomach by two assassins named Rechab and Baanah. When David heard of this he deemed it totally unacceptable (Eshbaal's father had tried to kill David many times, but David thought it was to vile to murder his own King. Now these two dared to kill their own King while being heads of assault teams--to David it was a disgusting act of betrayal.) David had the two assassins killed; he had their hands cut off along with their feet then he had them hung in Hebron where he had been made King over Judah. Some time later David would become King over all of the tribes while King Eshbaal would hardly be known compared to David, his father and brother Johnathan.
Still he played a significant role in shaping Israel's history and thus the history of all Hebrews today.
