I think that's correct, but don't take my word for it.

Why not Lemuel?

Not Solomon in Redemption.

The evidence is not conclusive either way.  So, we treat them as different.

There are other such cases in Redemption.  It is possible that Shammah and Shamhuth are the same person.  Coincidentally, they are both gold brigade heroes.

Why not Lemuel?

The REG lists him as the king of Massa

Yay!  Finally someone gets the grammar right.  (or wrong, but whatever)

Technically the name "SomeKittens" is singular, so technically "is" is the correct form of the verb.  Then again I am taking physics not English, so I may, in fact, be wrong.

Either one could be correct, but it technically should be "is"

I find this a bit odd.  Saul, David, and Solomon are considered kings of Isreal even though most of the card abilities that refer to that are talking about the split northern kingdom.  At the same time they are not considered kings of Judah even though that kingdom is much more in line with the kingdom that David and Solomon ruled. 

I know they get lumped together because the two kingdoms happen to have the same name but for accuracy it seems better to either make them kings of both or neither.  Then refer to them as kings of "the unified kingdom" or something like that.
