What were Solomons kids names?

King Solomon had many children, but the Bible specifically names only a few:

From his wives:

* Rehoboam: Solomon's son by his wife, Naamah, the Ammonite woman. He succeeded Solomon as king.

* Abijah: (also called Abijam) Another son of Solomon, but his mother is not named in the Bible.

From his concubines:

* Jeroboam: A son of Solomon, but the Bible doesn't mention his mother. He became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the kingdom split.

* Adonijah: A son of Solomon by Haggith, one of his concubines. He tried to usurp the throne from his brother Rehoboam but was thwarted by the high priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan.

It's important to note that the Bible doesn't provide a comprehensive list of all Solomon's children. It mentions several unnamed sons and daughters in 1 Kings 11:3 and 2 Chronicles 11:21, suggesting he had many more offspring.
