Abra, the most beloved of Solomon's concubines.
| Fruits their odour lost and meats their taste, |
| If gentle Abra had not decked the feast; |
| Dishonoured did the sparkling goblet stand, |
| Unless received from gentle Abra's hand; ... |
| Nor could my soul approve the music's tone |
| Till all was hushed, and Abra sang alone. |
| M. Prior: Solomon (1664-1721). |
Solomon had above 1000 concubines, from among the Moabites, Ammonites, Sidonians, and Hittites. The mother of Rehoboam, his successor, was Naamah, an Ammonitess (I Kings xiv, 20, 21).
