1 Kings 4
Solomon has a massive empire and peaceful borders. Word of his wisdom and knowledge spread. Countries from abroad send him ambassadors to meet with him. He also spends his time writing proverbs and studying he natural world.
This is the Golden Age of ancient Israel.
He even wrote a few psalms:
Psalm 72 - Solomon prays for blessings on the king. The psalm asks for many of the blessings that Solomon had, so I wonder if this was intended to be a prayer/blessing for his heirs.
Psalm 127 - Solomon analogizes about construction and guarding cities to psalm reflects a trust in God as well as the futility in not trusting in God. He also discusses the importance of having children.
