Tsar Solomon and the «Golden Age» of Tsar Simeon
Modern sources write that Solomon (Shelomo, Suleiman) is the third and greatest king of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah. The tenth son of David and the second son of David by Bathsheba (Virsaviya). The name of Solomon was given to him by his parents, the prophet Nathan gave him another name – Edidya («God's favorite, Bohumil» -Shmuel I 12, 25). Some believe that this was his real name, and «Shlomo» – a nickname («peacemaker»). Since the name of Simeon, as the king of the Bulgarians, is known in 886 and 985, most likely this throne name is a title, and the king could have been called differently. He had a rank and could take another name. The book of A. G. Vinogradov «Tsar Solomon and the „Golden Age“ of Tsar Simeon» are devoted to the era of kings named «Golden Age» in the history of every nation -the Romans, Israelis and Bulgarians. Their common origin and development.
