The most accurate statements about King Solomon, based on historical and biblical accounts, are:
a) ruled during a time of prosperity but also enacted policies that led to resentment and rebellion among many Israelites.
b) unified the Hebrews into one single kingdom, with a capital in Jerusalem.
These options reflect the biblical portrayal of Solomon's reign, highlighting both his achievements and the subsequent issues that contributed to divisions among the tribes of Israel after his death.
Options c, d, and e do not align well with the traditional views of Solomon's life and reign. Specifically, Solomon is generally associated with great wealth and opulence rather than a humble lifestyle, and he did not defeat the Egyptians to secure Hebrew independence, as Israel was already established as a country by that time.
