What do you know about SOLOMON?

This is what I learned:

There is first of all Solomon’s wisdom.

“God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.” – First Kings 4:29

Secondly we are reading about Solomon’s covenant with God.

Thirdly the sad thing happens: Solomon fails to keep the covenant.

His wives turned his heart from God. (First Kings 11:1-13)

“King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women…” – First Kings 11:1 “Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.” – First Kings 11:2

Fourthly and lastly the Bible tells us about his adversaries.

HADAD was an Edomite and an adversary of Solomon, raised up against him by the LORD.

REZON was a son of Eliada and an adversary of Solomon, raised up against Solomon by God.

JEROBOAM was one of Solomon’s officials and he rebelled against Solomon.

I KNOW THAT THE LIFE OF SOLOMON IS A SOLEMN WARNING FOR ALL OF US!
