Read the Greater Key of Solomon and the Lesser Key of Solomon.
Read the Grimoirium Verum too.
The Qurʾan relates that Solomon died while he was leaning on his staff. As he remained upright, propped on his staff, the jinn thought he was still alive and supervising them, so they continued to work.
They realized the truth only when Allah sent a creature to crawl out of the ground and gnaw at Solomon's staff until his body collapsed. The Qurʾan then comments that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment of being enslaved.
"Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the jinn saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating penalty (of their task)." (Qurʾan 34:14)

I don't know about this covenant of Solomon, but yes, later in life he worshipped demons.

And strangely enough, the Old Testament does not say that he was punished for that in the very severe way that we would expect...
What is wrong with this part of the Old Testament?
Why Solomon is "respected" until today, both by Jewish people and Christians?
Someone who worshiped demons should not be "respected" as he is...
Something does not add up here...

You are right.
Solomons case is unresolved in the Bible.
The bible also does not tell us whether or not he even repented.
Also the fact that ONLY he is being associated with 666 is something to ponder over.
BTW, I like your sig.

You're correct, it never does say if he repented or not, however the other poster is quite wrong about Solomon not being severely punished for his idolatry.
"Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.

Any clues about the real origin of this text?
Was King Solomon really a "commander of demons"?
