      Gr. [?]; cf. Per. samander, samandel.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of Urodela,
            belonging to {Salamandra}, {Amblystoma}, {Plethodon}, and
            various allied genera, especially those that are more or
            less terrestrial in their habits.
  
      Note: The salamanders have, like lizards, an elongated body,
               four feet, and a long tail, but are destitute of
               scales. They are true Amphibia, related to the frogs.
               Formerly, it was a superstition that the salamander
               could live in fire without harm, and even extinguish it
               by the natural coldness of its body.
  
                        I have maintained that salamander of yours with
                        fire any time this two and thirty years. --Shak.
  
                        Whereas it is commonly said that a salamander
                        extinguisheth fire, we have found by experience
                        that on hot coals, it dieth immediately. --Sir T.
                                                                              Browne.
  
      2. (Zo[94]l.) The pouched gopher ({Geomys tuza}) of the
            Southern United States.
  
      3. A culinary utensil of metal with a plate or disk which is
            heated, and held over pastry, etc., to brown it.
  
      4. A large poker. [Prov. Eng.] --Halliwell.
  
      5. (Metal.) Solidified material in a furnace hearth.
  
      {Giant salamander}. (Zo[94]l.) See under {Giant}.
  
      {Salamander's} {hair [or] wool} (Min.), a species of asbestus
            or mineral flax. [Obs.] --Bacon.

      (Chem.)
      A nonmetallic element of the sulphur group, and analogous to
      sulphur in its compounds. It is found in small quantities
      with sulphur and some sulphur ores, and obtained in the free
      state as a dark reddish powder or crystalline mass, or as a

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Acid \Ac"id\, n.
      1. A sour substance.
  
      2. (Chem.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not
            always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in
            water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors.
            They are also characterized by the power of destroying the
            distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining
            with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own
            peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united
            with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or
            more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this
            negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen
            are sometimes called {hydracids} in distinction from the
            others which are called {oxygen acids} or {oxacids}.
  
      Note: In certain cases, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium may
               take the place of oxygen, and the corresponding
               compounds are called respectively {sulphur acids} or
               {sulphacids}, {selenium acids}, or {tellurium acids}.
               When the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a positive
               element or radical, a salt is formed, and hence acids
               are sometimes named as salts of hydrogen; as hydrogen
               nitrate for nitric acid, hydrogen sulphate for
               sulphuric acid, etc. In the old chemistry the name acid
               was applied to the oxides of the negative or
               nonmetallic elements, now sometimes called anhydrides.

   Salmon
      shady; or Zalmon (q.v.), a hill covered with dark forests, south
      of Shechem, from which Abimelech and his men gathered wood to
      burn that city (Judg. 9:48). In Ps. 68:14 the change from war to
      peace is likened to snow on the dark mountain, as some interpret
      the expression. Others suppose the words here mean that the
      bones of the slain left unburied covered the land, so that it
      seemed to be white as if covered with snow. The reference,
      however, of the psalm is probably to Josh. 11 and 12. The
      scattering of the kings and their followers is fitly likened

   Shalman

      (Sayce) or IV. (Lenormant), the successor of Pul on the throne
      of Assyria (B.C. 728). He made war against Hoshea, the king of
      Israel, whom he subdued and compelled to pay an annual tribute.
      Hoshea, however, soon after rebelled against his Assyrian
      conquerer. Shalmaneser again marched against Samaria, which,
      after a siege of three years, was taken (2 Kings 17:3-5; 18:9)
      by Sargon (q.v.). A revolution meantime had broken out in
      Assyria, and Shalmaneser was deposed. Sargon usurped the vacant
      throne. Schrader thinks that this is probably the name of a king
      of Moab mentioned on an inscription of Tiglath-pileser as
      Salamanu.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Solomon
      peaceful, (Heb. Shelomoh), David's second son by Bathsheba,
      i.e., the first after their legal marriage (2 Sam. 12). He was
      probably born about B.C. 1035 (1 Chr. 22:5; 29:1). He succeeded
      his father on the throne in early manhood, probably about
      sixteen or eighteen years of age. Nathan, to whom his education
      was intrusted, called him Jedidiah, i.e., "beloved of the Lord"
      (2 Sam. 12:24, 25). He was the first king of Israel "born in the
      purple." His father chose him as his successor, passing over the
      claims of his elder sons: "Assuredly Solomon my son shall reign
      after me." His history is recorded in 1 Kings 1-11 and 2 Chr.
      1-9. His elevation to the throne took place before his father's
      death, and was hastened on mainly by Nathan and Bathsheba, in
      consequence of the rebellion of Adonijah (1 Kings 1:5-40).
      During his long reign of forty years the Hebrew monarchy gained
      its highest splendour. This period has well been called the
      "Augustan age" of the Jewish annals. The first half of his reign
      was, however, by far the brighter and more prosperous; the
      latter half was clouded by the idolatries into which he fell,
      mainly from his heathen intermarriages (1 Kings 11:1-8; 14:21,
      31).
     
         Before his death David gave parting instructions to his son (1
      Kings 2:1-9; 1 Chr. 22:7-16; 28). As soon as he had settled
      himself in his kingdom, and arranged the affairs of his
      extensive empire, he entered into an alliance with Egypt by the
      marriage of the daughter of Pharaoh (1 Kings 3:1), of whom,
      however, nothing further is recorded. He surrounded himself with
      all the luxuries and the external grandeur of an Eastern
      monarch, and his government prospered. He entered into an
      alliance with Hiram, king of Tyre, who in many ways greatly
      assisted him in his numerous undertakings. (See {HIRAM}.)
     
         For some years before his death David was engaged in the
      active work of collecting materials (1 Chr. 29:6-9; 2 Chr.
      2:3-7) for building a temple in Jerusalem as a permanent abode
      for the ark of the covenant. He was not permitted to build the
      house of God (1 Chr. 22:8); that honour was reserved to his son
      Solomon. (See {TEMPLE}.)
     
         After the completion of the temple, Solomon engaged in the
      erection of many other buildings of importance in Jerusalem and
      in other parts of his kingdom. For the long space of thirteen
      years he was engaged in the erection of a royal palace on Ophel
      (1 Kings 7:1-12). It was 100 cubits long, 50 broad, and 30 high.
      Its lofty roof was supported by forty-five cedar pillars, so
      that the hall was like a forest of cedar wood, and hence
      probably it received the name of "The House of the Forest of
      Lebanon." In front of this "house" was another building, which
      was called the Porch of Pillars, and in front of this again was
      the "Hall of Judgment," or Throne-room (1 Kings 7:7; 10:18-20; 2
      Chr. 9:17-19), "the King's Gate," where he administered justice
      and gave audience to his people. This palace was a building of
      great magnificence and beauty. A portion of it was set apart as
      the residence of the queen consort, the daughter of Pharaoh.
      From the palace there was a private staircase of red and scented
      sandal wood which led up to the temple.
     
         Solomon also constructed great works for the purpose of
      securing a plentiful supply of water for the city (Eccl. 2:4-6).
      He then built Millo (LXX., "Acra") for the defence of the city,
      completing a line of ramparts around it (1 Kings 9:15, 24;
      11:27). He erected also many other fortifications for the
      defence of his kingdom at various points where it was exposed to
      the assault of enemies (1 Kings 9:15-19; 2 Chr. 8:2-6). Among
      his great undertakings must also be mentioned the building of
      Tadmor (q.v.) in the wilderness as a commercial depot, as well
      as a military outpost.
     
         During his reign Palestine enjoyed great commercial
      prosperity. Extensive traffic was carried on by land with Tyre
      and Egypt and Arabia, and by sea with Spain and India and the
      coasts of Africa, by which Solomon accumulated vast stores of
      wealth and of the produce of all nations (1 Kings 9:26-28;
      10:11, 12; 2 Chr. 8:17, 18; 9:21). This was the "golden age" of
      Israel. The royal magnificence and splendour of Solomon's court
      were unrivalled. He had seven hundred wives and three hundred
      concubines, an evidence at once of his pride, his wealth, and
      his sensuality. The maintenance of his household involved
      immense expenditure. The provision required for one day was
      "thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
      ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an
      hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and
      fatted fowl" (1 Kings 4:22, 23).
     
         Solomon's reign was not only a period of great material
      prosperity, but was equally remarkable for its intellectual
      activity. He was the leader of his people also in this uprising
      amongst them of new intellectual life. "He spake three thousand
      proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake
      of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the
      hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts,
      and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes" (1 Kings
      4:32, 33).
     
         His fame was spread abroad through all lands, and men came
      from far and near "to hear the wisdom of Solomon." Among others
      thus attracted to Jerusalem was "the queen of the south" (Matt.
      12:42), the queen of Sheba, a country in Arabia Felix. "Deep,
      indeed, must have been her yearning, and great his fame, which
      induced a secluded Arabian queen to break through the immemorial
      custom of her dreamy land, and to put forth the energy required
      for braving the burdens and perils of so long a journey across a
      wilderness. Yet this she undertook, and carried it out with
      safety." (1 Kings 10:1-13; 2 Chr. 9:1-12.) She was filled with
      amazement by all she saw and heard: "there was no more spirit in
      her." After an interchange of presents she returned to her
      native land.
     
         But that golden age of Jewish history passed away. The bright
      day of Solomon's glory ended in clouds and darkness. His decline
      and fall from his high estate is a sad record. Chief among the
      causes of his decline were his polygamy and his great wealth.
      "As he grew older he spent more of his time among his
      favourites. The idle king living among these idle women, for
      1,000 women, with all their idle and mischievous attendants,
      filled the palaces and pleasure-houses which he had built (1
      Kings 11:3), learned first to tolerate and then to imitate their
      heathenish ways. He did not, indeed, cease to believe in the God
      of Israel with his mind. He did not cease to offer the usual
      sacrifices in the temple at the great feasts. But his heart was
      not right with God; his worship became merely formal; his soul,
      left empty by the dying out of true religious fervour, sought to
      be filled with any religious excitement which offered itself.
      Now for the first time a worship was publicly set up amongst the
      people of the Lord which was not simply irregular or forbidden,
      like that of Gideon (Judg. 8:27), or the Danites (Judg. 18:30,
      31), but was downright idolatrous." (1 Kings 11:7; 2 Kings
      23:13.)
     
         This brought upon him the divine displeasure. His enemies
      prevailed against him (1 Kings 11:14-22, 23-25, 26-40), and one
      judgment after another fell upon the land. And now the end of
      all came, and he died, after a reign of forty years, and was
      buried in the city of David, and "with him was buried the
      short-lived glory and unity of Israel." "He leaves behind him
      but one weak and worthless son, to dismember his kingdom and
      disgrace his name."
     
         "The kingdom of Solomon," says Rawlinson, "is one of the most
      striking facts in the Biblical history. A petty nation, which
      for hundreds of years has with difficulty maintained a separate
      existence in the midst of warlike tribes, each of which has in
      turn exercised dominion over it and oppressed it, is suddenly
      raised by the genius of a soldier-monarch to glory and
      greatness. An empire is established which extends from the
      Euphrates to the borders of Egypt, a distance of 450 miles; and
      this empire, rapidly constructed, enters almost immediately on a
      period of peace which lasts for half a century. Wealth,
      grandeur, architectural magnificence, artistic excellence,
      commercial enterprise, a position of dignity among the great
      nations of the earth, are enjoyed during this space, at the end
      of which there is a sudden collapse. The ruling nation is split
      in twain, the subject-races fall off, the pre-eminence lately
      gained being wholly lost, the scene of struggle, strife,
      oppression, recovery, inglorious submission, and desperate
      effort, re-commences.", Historical Illustrations.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Solomon, Song of
      called also, after the Vulgate, the "Canticles." It is the "song
      of songs" (1:1), as being the finest and most precious of its
      kind; the noblest song, "das Hohelied," as Luther calls it. The
      Solomonic authorship of this book has been called in question,
      but evidences, both internal and external, fairly establish the
      traditional view that it is the product of Solomon's pen. It is
      an allegorical poem setting forth the mutual love of Christ and
      the Church, under the emblem of the bridegroom and the bride.

      21:2, 9; 22:17. Compare also Ps. 45; Isa. 54:4-6; 62:4, 5; Jer.
      2:2; 3:1, 20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 2:16, 19, 20.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Solomon's Porch
      (John 10:23; Acts 3:11; 5:12), a colonnade, or cloister
      probably, on the eastern side of the temple. It is not mentioned
      in connection with the first temple, but Josephus mentions a
      porch, so called, in Herod's temple (q.v.).
