Jerusalem Under Solomon
The city of Jerusalem underwent considerable expansion during the reign of Solomon. According to 1 Kings 3:1, Solomon finished building “the wall all around Jerusalem.” Archaeological evidence indicates that Solomon increased the size of the city from eleven to thirty-two acres; its total population increased several times over as well. Some of the population increase was due to Solomon’s family alone. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines (11:3). The number of Solomon’s children is not given but must have been very large as well.

Understood, and I didn't mean to imply that you did agree. I simply wanted to be sure to have everyone aware that there are other opinions.
