Characters in this Week's Haftorah- Interesting Biographical Facts

King Shlomo-
King Shlomo should have been one of the people who have no share in the world to come for being influenced by his wives at an old age. However, since he hurried to build the Temple he was listed with the righteous kings (Pesikta Rabbasi 6:19).

Chiram- King of Tyre
Chirah is Chiram who lived to 1,200 years. (Bereishis Rabbah 85:4)
