Ep 58 - Solomon was Fucking Rich

Solomon finished his temple and then decided to outdo the house he made for God by building himself an even crazier, fancier building. Taking 13 years to build and almost doubling the size of the crazy gold temple, Solomon's palace was just ridiculous.

Once his palace was finished, he let God move into his temple and then they came to an agreement: Solomon and his descendants don't cheat on God with all the other gods and God doesn't destroy their whole nation. To celebrate, Solomon slaughtered enough animals to fill an olympic sized swimming pool with blood.

Word spread of his wealth and even the Queen of Sheba came all the way out from Yemen to witness how wealthy Solomon was. The fame of his wealth only produced more wealth and suddenly everything in his palace was made of gold and he was shipping in spices and baboons from Africa, lumber from Lebanon, and taking control of the whole fucking region.
