That's a classic and indeed impressive story of king Salomon/Solomon:

I also have read this story before

I have spent many hours reading and studing this book. If you really want to get into understanding this book then you will have to learn about the people, culture, and language of their time. A publishing group that has done an amazing job at this is First Fruits of Zion. The insite they have into this book has changed my life. Check them out at http://ffoz.org/ They also provide alot of free stuff to read.

The begottings can be quite interesting though when taken in a particular light. The fact that there is a lineage recorded from Adam to Jesus is really quite amazing. Even more amazing is that Jesus' ancestors were all a bunch of no-good rotten adulterers, thieves, and murderers. Ironic, isn't it? But that's what's fascinating about the begots to me, that the perfect one comes from a line of the most imperfect ones.
