The Golden Age of Israel's Wisdom Literature
The book of Ecclesiastes, traditionally attributed to Solomon, reflects on the meaning of life during Israel's golden age. We've stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where Solomon built the First Temple, and walked the streets of Megiddo, one of his fortified cities. This map traces the united kingdom under David and Solomon, when Israel stretched from the Euphrates to the Red Sea. The prosperity of this era allowed Solomon to write, “I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 1:13). For travelers in Israel, this map connects the wisdom literature to the land where Solomon's empire once thrived.
