Solomon ソロモン

意味: これは、ヘブル語の名前  שְׁלֹמֹה (Shelomoh)から来ていますが、それはヘブル語で「平和」を意味する、シャロームשָׁלוֹם (shalom)から派生した言葉です。ソロモンはダビデ王の息子で、イスラエルの王位を継承しました。ソロモン王は、知恵と富、権勢と文筆家として知れ渡っています。旧約聖書の中で、箴言、コレヘトの言葉(伝道の書)、それと雅歌とはソロモンによって書かれたと信じられています。けれども、ソロモンは最終的には罪を犯して神から背を向け、結果的に神の怒りを買いました。そして、その罰として王国はソロモンの息子の時代に二つに引き裂かれたのでした。
