Apparently Yes he did & there is a missing chapter in our Bibles.

Solomon, the son of King David, was the focus of a chapter written between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, but it was not accepted into the canonical Bible due to its emphasis on magic and demonology.

Titled 'Testament of Solomon,' the book begins with the Archangel Michael gifting Solomon a magical ring to summon, interrogate and control demons.

Now, archaeologists working at the ancient city of Hadrianopolis have uncovered the amulet among the ruins of a military structure that suggested a soldier wore it knowing Solomon could cast away the powers of evil.

But the Testament of Solomon tells a different side of the wealthy king, one who battled demons - and the amulet suggested that ancient people believed the stories to be true.

In the book the 'Legend of the Jews' by Rabbi Louis Ginzberg speaks more about King Solomon & the Demons.

Since Solomon participated in worship to pagan g od s then yes he would have fought them later if he turned back to Almighty God. I Kings 11 list some of the altars he built and states he made sacrifices.

Then when reading Ecclesiastes such as Scripture listed below, it seems he returned to Almighty God.
."Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Ecc 12

I was wondering where those cartoons got their source material.

What about the book ' The Testament of Solomon' do you think that it should have been included in the Bible, like they said ?

This writing is not missing, it is pseudepigraphical in other words, fiction.

So the Amulet they found, is that fictional too ?
If you wish to be mislead, there is nothing that will convince you that all of this is deceptive and unnecessary in one's Christian walk. In reference to the amulet,
It is important to remember that many amulets and talismans from this period were inscribed with names of religious figures or powerful beings to invoke their protection or blessings. So you are dangerously getting close to demonic beliefs and practices. There is no connection here to the real King Solomon.

Stick to the books in the Bible for truth and facts.

Nothing wrong in reading books that werent included but the full truth comes from the complete Canon.

God bless

Oh, and woof!
