Leather-bound gift book "The Parables of King Solomon"

Solomon is the third Jewish king, the ruler of the united kingdom of Israel during its heyday. The son of King David and his co-ruler in the first two years of his reign. During the reign of Solomon, the Jerusalem Temple was built in Jerusalem. It is believed that Solomon ended the half-thousand-year-old enmity between Jews and Egyptians by taking the daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh as his first wife. The image of King Solomon inspired many poets and artists.

In the Biblical narrative, God gave Solomon the kingdom on the condition that he would not deviate from the service of God. In exchange for this promise, God endowed Solomon with unprecedented wisdom and patience. The Bible says that Solomon's wisdom was "above the wisdom of all the sons of the East and above the wisdom of the Egyptians," and it is wisdom that his book teaches, presenting it as the highest good and the only worthy object of human aspirations.

The Book of Proverbs of Solomon is a book that is part of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Old Testament. The second book of the Ktuvim section of the Hebrew Bible. The twentieth canonical book of the Christian Bible (Synodal Translation). There are verses in the Proverbs of Solomon that are very similar to the ancient Egyptian "Teaching of Amenemope" not only in general meaning, but also in text. Such a book will always be an excellent gift!
