Is the Testament of Solomon Biblical?
score:3
In broad strokes, the term "Biblical" gets used in one of two senses:
- Content included in or coming directly from the canon of the Bible.
- Something that is in essential agreement with what the Bible teaches about a subject.
The so called Testament of Solomon is Biblical in neither of these senses. It is not included in anybody's canon (not the Jews, Catholics, Protestants, any of the Orthodox churches, or any of the more recent denominations). In other words no branch of Christianity considers the work authoritative. Additionally its content directly contradicts the Biblical narrative of the same events on many points.

If you Read the scriptures 1 King you will see that it does not cross reference to God's word and the scriptures. As King Solomon hired 30,000 men to cut the cedar and fir from Lebonon, Sending 10,000 a month. Then he hired 40,000 -men to hewed the stone. So that is alot of man power to build the temple. Not demon power. Always goes back to scripture to confirm the word of God.
5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
5:11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
5:12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
5:13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
5:14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
5:15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
5:16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
5:18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house
