| Summary: | The only wife of King Solomon known by her personal name was Naamah, the Ammonite princess, mother of Rehoboam, heir to thre throne. According to Biblical chronology, Naamah was married to young Solomon by King David and thus this international marriage has to be viewed as the result of the latter's policy and not that of Solomon. The possible motives for David's initiative are considered. We may speculate that much later, Ishmael son of Nethaniah "of the seed of the royal family", who entertained special ties with Ammon and was sent by its king to eliminate Gedaliah son of Ahikam, may have been a distant descendant of Rehoboam and Naamah, the Ammonitess. La seule épouse de Salomon qui ait été connue par son nom est Naamah, la princesse ammonite, mère de Roboam, héritier du trône. Selon la chronologie biblique, Naamah a été mariée au jeune Salomon par le roi David. Ce mariage international résulte de la politique de David, et non de celle de Salomon. Les raisons de l'initiative de David sont examinées. On peut supposer que, bien plus tard, Yishmaël, fils de Netanya, «de souche royale», a pu être un lointain descendant de Roboam et de Naamah, l'Ammonite; il entretint des rapports privilégiés avec Ammon, et fut envoyé par son roi pour éliminer Godolias, fils d'Ahiqam. |
