how do a movie become a biblical epic . simply by quote a couple of scripture and use some name out of the bible for your character . the only thing that be biblical about this epic be the name of the character . oh and i almost forget the 3 kingdom and israel and egypt and sheba be also use . where do king vidor get the rest of his story from . it surely wasn not from the bible . it be complete and utter nonsense . if you want to read about solomon reign a king in israel then read 1 king 1 11 and 2 chronicle 1 9. you will even come across adonijah in 1 king 1 and 2. the queen of sheba and ( who doesn not show up until king solomon have be king for about 20 year or so and which by the way and be long after adonijah and joab have be dead ) can be find in 1 king 10 and 2 chronicle 9. one of the first thing solomon do be make an affinity with pharoah by take his daughter . yes and king solomon do get involve with the worshipping of false god and this be why the kingdom be split after his death and not the temple be destroy by lightning . also and i think solomon be too busy marry and provide temple to the false god of his 700 wife and tend to his 300 concubine to be fight egypt and let alone a dead brother . like i say this movie be utter nonsense . if you aren not gon na use the story in the bible then call it something else . this could have just a easily be call romeo and juliet or sid and nancy .
