A cautionary tale from Solomon Invest in What Matters A cautionary tale from Solomon

Solomon was good! Killed Joab and others who had done evil to David (Ch. 2) Loved the Lord and walked in the statutes of David (3:3) Asks God for wisdom, rather than riches or long life (3:6-9) His reign was peaceful and his kingdom was blessed (Ch. 4) Was known throughout the world for his wisdom (Ch. 4) Builds the temple, his destiny (Ch. 6)

But there was that… Married a foreign wife and had a love for foreign culture (3:1) Sacrificed on the high places (3:3)

Not so bad… right? Good Solomon Killed Joab, Abiathar the priest, Shimei who had done evil to David (Ch. 2) Loved the Lord and walked in the statutes of David (3:3) Asks God for wisdom, rather than riches or long life (3:6- 9) His reign was peaceful and his kingdom was blessed (Ch. 4) Builds the temple, his destiny (Ch. 6) Bad Solomon Married a foreign wife and loved foreign culture(3:1) Sacrificed on the high places (3:3)

1 Kings 11: Where things go wrong “Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, ’You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.’

1 Kings 11: Where things go wrong Solomon clung to these in love. He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.” 1 Kings 11:1-4

1 Kings 11: Where have I seen that before? “You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.” Deuteronomy 7:3-4

Jeroboam son of Nebat

What Should we Do? Get rid of the footholds Don’t simply seek after pleasure (Ecclesiastes 2:9-11) Don’t seek after wealth and possessions (5:9- 12) Spend your life in community (4:9-12) “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” (12:13) ENJOY YOUR LIFE! (9:7-10)
