What were the results of Solomon marrying the daughter of a pharaoh?
This is delved in mystery. She is most the daughter of a foreign
king who conquered Egypt and called himself pharaoh of Egypt. This
would still make her an "Egyptian" princess. And this means rather
being pure Egyptian, she could be Tanis, Libyan, Persian, Nubian or
Greek. We do know She was roughly from the 21st dynasty-the early
27th dynasty of Egypt. Pharaohs chose the husbands of their
daughters until the 26th dynasty, where women chose their own
husbands. If Solomon married his Egyptian queen in the 26th
dynasty, it may have been the princess's Own choice to marry him to
seal an alliance. She may be Princess Tashere or Niacaule, daughter
of Libyan Pharaoh Shoshenq I of the 22nd dynasty. However, she may
be a daughter of Seti I or Ramsses II of the 19th dynasty.
A likely canidate for Solomon's Egyptian wife is the unnamed
daughter of Ahmose II of the 26th dynasty. She was supposed to be
the wife of a Persian king, however, her father gave the daughter
of the previous pharaoh as wife to the Persian king. We do not hear
any more of this mysterious princess, so it is possible she wanted
to marry Solomon instead of the Persian king, hence why Ahmose II
did such a thing. Herodtus said her name was Nitetis, and described
her as being "tall and beautiful." Ahmose II was of common orgins,
if his daughter was married off to solomon, he wasn't as offended
as Amenhotep II was, who would not give his daughter over to a
foreign king, Ahmose II would not have been as pressured to keep
dynastic purity. However, his daughter's name is still a question
mark, Herodtus said her name was Nitetis, then others say she was
the daughter or wife of the previous pharaoh. Another canidate is
the Lady Sharelli, of Pharaoh Horemheb's court. But she was not the
daughter of Horemheb, his only daughter was by Mutnedjmet, sister
of Queen Nefertiti, his daughter was Queen Nefertari, wife of
Ramses II. Lady Sharelli was married to a Western Asian ruler, so
she is crossed out as a canidate. Solomon's principal wife, the
Pharaoh's daughter had her own palace, which archelogists have
found. In the palace shows a seated female Egyptian of high rank...
Pharaoh's daughter, Solomon's wife.
