I am reading the Bible, the Word of the Living God, from cover to cover and in my daily reading I arrived at the book of  First Kings.

In the first eleven chapters of  First Kings you find the story of  Solomon.

Intr.:

“As  Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,…” First Kings 11:4

In chapter eleven the Bible tells us that Solomon built a high place for Chemosh and Molech. Chemosh was the detestable god of Moab and Molech was the detestable god of the Ammonites. First Kings 11:7

The Bible says also:

“The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord,…” First Kings 11:9

ADVERSARIES AND A REBEL

A. Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary,…” First Kings 11:14

His name was Hadad.  Hadad, an Edomite prince.

Read about him in First Kings 11:14-22

B. And God raised up against Solomon another adversary,…” First Kings 11:23

His name was Rezon. Rezon, the son of Eliada.

Read about him in First Kings 11:23-25

C. “Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against the king.” First Kings 11:26

Jeroboam was an official of the King.

Read his whole story in First Kings 11:26-40

End:

The end of chapter 11 tells us:

“Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. Then  he rested…” First Kings 11:42,43
