In 2005 I published a book titled "The Book of King Solomon." It dramatizes the story of King Solomon, based on both the Biblical account and later legends.
Included are tales of his legal decisions (e.g., his ruling in the wrongful death suit brought by Goliath, Jr.), as well as commentary that relates to Jewish history, religion, and folklore. The book seeks to make King Solomon--"the wisest of men"--relevant to modern-day readers. I am now offering the book as a free PDF download.
