and, fettered in chains, he worked clay with his reet, and drewwater.Solomon would not give him his liberty "because that fierce demon Asmodeus knew even the future" (ib.Thus, in the Testament of Solomon, Asmodeus is connected on the one hand with the Asmodeus of Tobit, and possesses on the other many points of contact with the Ashmedai of rabbinical literature, especially in his relation to Solomon and the building of the Temple.The Haggadah relates that Solomon, when erecting the Temple, did not know how to get the blocks of marble into shape, since, according to the law (Ex.The wise men advised him to obtain the "shamir" (), a worm whose mere touch could cleave rocks.They surmised, however, that Ashmedai, king of the demons, was in possession of the secret, and they told Solomon the name of the mountain on which Ashmedai dwelt and described his manner of life.Then, after investigating the fastenings of the well, to ascertain if they had been tampered with, he drank of the water.At first he would not drink of it, and cited the Bible verses against wine (Prov.At length Ashmedai succumbed to his consuming thirst, and drank until his senses were overpowered and he fell into a deep sleep.Though Ashmedai now permitted himself to be led off unresistingly, he acted most peculiarly on the way to Solomon.He wept when a wedding company passed them, and laughed at one who asked his shoemaker to make him shoes to last for seven years, and at a magician who was publicly showing his skill.Ashmedai thereupon informed the king where it could be obtained.Solomon then questioned him about his strange conduct on the journey.Ashmedai answered that he judged persons and things according to their real character and not according to their appearance in the eyes of human beings.Ashmedai remained with Solomon until the Temple was completed.One day the king told him that he did not understand wherein the greatness of the demons lay, if their king could be kept in bonds by a mortal.The demon then stood before him with one wing touching heaven, and the other reaching to the earth.Snatching up Solomon, who had parted with his protecting ring, he flung him four hundred parasangs away from Jerusalem, and then palmed himself off as the king.At first the people thought him mad; but then the wise men decided it would be well to regard Ashmedai more closely.Although the number of incidents concerning Ashmedai related by this Haggadah is fairly large, the fact must not be disregarded that many details grouped about him are of later origin and do not pertain to Ashmedai at all.Solomon meanwhile having to wander about as a beggar (Yer.Temple is probably an echo of the elaborate legend in the Testament of Solomon, according to which the demons were the chief laborers at the building of the Temple.Furthermore, it is improbable that the shamir legend was originally an element of the Ashmedai legend.Ornias in the Testament (x.Ashmedai laughed at the man who ordered shoes to last seven years, when he had not seven days to live.That he overturned a house and uprooted a tree indicates nothing; for with any demon, however insignificant, such things are trifles.Ashmedai is not represented as doing these things from a mere desire to destroy, but apparently through carelessness.The common opinion that in the Talmud, Ashmedai is depicted as particularly lustful and sensual, has no sufficient basis.Avesta, tallies with the dominant conception in Pahlavi writings.It is related of Shamdon that at the planting of the first vine by Noah he helped with the work, but said to Noah: "I want to join you in your labor and share with you; but have heed that you take not of my portion lest I do you harm" (Gen.Asher, Zioni, and Recanati in their commentaries, ad loc.In the Zohar, Ashmedai is represented as the teacher of Solomon, towhom he gave a book of magic and medicine (Zohar Lev.In a more recent Midrash Ashmedai is identified with Shamdon (Midr.Midrash, which has probably been lost:(This legend is given at length in Jellinek, "B.Der Aberglaube und die Stellung des Judenthums zu Demselben, 1881, p.Stave, Einfluss des Parsismus auf das Judenthum, p.The name of the demon mentioned in the Book of Tobias (iii, 8).The name is most probably derived from the Hebrew root meaning "to destroy": so that the being would correspond to the demon called Abaddon, the Destroyer in the Apocalypse 9:11.From this fact, a superstition had arisen that the demon loved the maiden and slew her husbands through jealousy.The Rationalists have vainly endeavoured to set down this history as a Persian myth.For a full refutation of their theories, see Gutberlet, "Das Buch Tobias".About this page
