    Sandy on Wisdom of Solomon 3 - 2 years ago
    My Son saw something in Wikipedia about King Solomon using demons to build the temple and Michael the Archangel supposedly gave him a ring in order for him to control the demons. I had no fore knowledge of this, and was wondering if anyone here could give me scripture for it. Personally, since the temple was sacred I can't see how demons could be any part of it! Thank you.

    Wikipedia is a Google site. It's not the Bible. I don't use it in any research

    You can enter a scripture in Google like:

    Psalm 34:4, meaning or history or teaching or commentaries

    And the sites I choose have BIBLE in their link

    Like: BibleRef, BibleHub, I choose those for study

    I would add to Chris's post "its wilkipedia" anyone can go in and edit and write anything facts be darn. Don't ever believe anything from there, at very least double check; I never go there it cannot be trusted for its validity.

    Your doubts are correct, Sandy. What your son was reading, referenced to a spurious writing in the post New Testament times (between the 3rd & 5th centuries AD), called the 'Testament of Solomon'. Clearly, Solomon didn't write any of it and the Book is a mishmash of ideas from various religions with strong links to astrology. Both Jewish & Christian scholars rejected these writings, considering them as fictional.
