    Hello Yakima. The Bible doesn't specifically record that Solomon repented of his many sins; but then again, the Bible doesn't always give us every detail of someone's life, especially if the repenter has chosen not to record it or there were no witnesses to it. Only God knew Solomon's heart, as He does each one of us, so whether we stand or fall, we do so before God alone & under His Judgement.

    However, in Ecclesiastes 12:13,14, we read Solomon finally expressing: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Maybe, this is the only (small) evidence of a man who has realized his errors in life & his life was always exposed before a Just & All-seeing God.
