After years of incredible success, Solomon turned his heart from God. Instead of clinging to God with all his heart, he clung to his wives. He loved his wives more than he loved God, so he followed them into idolatry. God was angry and sent enemies to fight against Solomon. Even worse, God promised to tear the kingdom away from Solomon. But because of His faithfulness and love for David, God did not completely reject Solomon. David’s line would become great once again.
