| Résumé: | This paper studies the profile of Solomon in the Masoretic text of the Codex Leningradensis and in three major Greek texts, the Codex Vaticanus, the Antiochian text, and the Codex Alexandrinus. As will be shown, these three Greek texts have reshaped the figure of Solomon as an ideal ruler according to Hellenistic standards. It will be argued that the Hellenistic Jewish scribes wanted to convey the idea that Solomon was much greater and wiser than any Hellenistic king, including Alexander the Great. This demonstrates that for the Jewish communities in various parts of the Hellenistic world, Solomon’s wisdom surpasses that of all other nations. |
