We gain beautiful insight into Solomon's role as King of Jerusalem just by studying his Hebrew name. In Hebrew, Solomon is שלמה/sh-lo-mo. Look for the root of the word and you'll see שלום/sha-LOM, peace! King Solomon built the first Temple in Jerusalem, without "hammers, chisels or any iron instruments" (I Kings 6:7), so that no instruments of war would be used and peace would be built into its very foundation. It symbolized complete peace between man and God and between all the nations of the world.
