Biography[]
Gaining Wisdom[]
Legends say that God appeared to Solomon in a dream one night and granted him a wish - he could ask for anything in the world and shell receive it. Solomon chose wisdom, to be a better ruler of his people. Later in his life, he became a famous figure throughout the known world for his great wisdom.[1]
Legacy[]
Centuries after his death, his wisdom was known to have been transferred to the wizard Shazam. Shazam then granted his wisdom to Billy Batson. Batson then went on to bestow his powers to five other worthy individuals.[2] Batson had frequent trouble pronouncing Solomon's name correctly and he was often ridiculed for supposedly not having gained the wisdom of Solomon due to his ill-advised antics and knowledge. The wizard Shazam later informed Batson that Solomon's wisdom had not transfered to his mind but had instead transferred to his heart, allowing Batson to instinctually do the right thing.[3]
