In this epic episode of Under the Hood, Sam and Will take you deep into the reign of King Solomon—Israel’s wisest and wealthiest king—and explore whether the biblical account stands up to historical and archaeological scrutiny. Spoiler alert: it does, in jaw-dropping detail.
From ancient gates, stables, and copper mines to port cities, palace walls, and temple beams still visible in modern structures, the evidence overwhelmingly supports Scripture's claims about Solomon's kingdom. Skeptics once called him a “hill country chieftain”—but discoveries across Israel and beyond say otherwise.
But this isn’t just about archaeology. This episode unpacks how Solomon’s greatness still falls short, and why his story ultimately points us to a greater King—the one who offers not just gold and wisdom, but grace, peace, and eternal life.
