Solomon, Salomon identifies the man named in genealogical, wisdom, glory, building, and portico contexts.

The term consistently identifies the same named man: in genealogical statements, sayings about his wisdom and glory, the statement that he built a house, and possessive descriptions of a portico bearing his name.

Senses in use

  1. The named man in varied narrative references · dominant

    The forms identify the same person across several clauses: in Matthew 1:6 and Matthew 1:7 the APB renders genealogical statements in which he is begotten and begets; in Luke 11:31 the clause concerns hearing his wisdom; and in Acts 7:47 it states that he built a house. Genitive forms also mark the possessive designation of "Solomon's Portico" in Acts 3:11 and John 10:23.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly in genealogy, wisdom, glory, and building statements, and uses the possessive English form "Solomon's" in references to the portico. Its surrounding wording does not establish further lexical distinctions.
