The limiting factor in the industrial revolution was not the concept that energy is stored chemically in oil, gas, and alcohol. Nor is it that water vapor expands. The limiting factor was being able to machine tool instruments fine enough to prevent all your energy escaping as steam through cracks in your machinery. This is something that requires the foresight of intelligent leaders and their assistance.

Machine tools were greatly improved in the building of guns and ships, two industries that funded this work.

My point is that Solomon had industrial scale mines, these mines needed water pumps, and he was renowned for his organizational skills. Had he been focused he could have enabled and facilitated the development of steam powered pumps.

Had to stop reading here.

Focused? Solomon had 1000 wives and concubines. I couldn't stay focused with just one. That means he wasn't as wise as advertised.

His renown must have been because of some attribute other than his supposed organizational skills, and wealth.

We don't know. Neither do we know about Solomon's mines. I'd figure you're just making stuff up, but realize there's all kinds of such claims, on Bible sites ... including recently finding the Ark. In the days of science countering the Bible, those of little faith seek such substantiation of the Bible.
