Solomon in the Bible
One of Solomon from the Bible's first acts of foreign policy during his reign must have been startling to t he Israelites. He made affinity with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, by marrying his daughter. The immediate results were probably favorable enough. The new queen brought with her as a dowry the frontier city of Gezer. But the ulitmate issue of the alliance showed that it was hollow and impolitic.
The alliance with the Phoenician king of Tyre rested on a somewhat different footing. It had been a part of David's policy from the beginning os his reign. Hiram had been a friend of David, and as soon as he heard of Solomon's accession he sent ambassadors to salute him. A correspondence passed between the two kings, which ended in a treaty of commerce. The opening of Joppa as a port created a new coasting-trade, and the materials from Tyre were conveyed to that city on floats, and from there to Jerusalem. In return for these exports, the Phoenicians received corn and oil from Solomon's territory.
