1 Kings 11:1-12:19
Acts 9:1-25
Psalm 131:1-3
Proverbs 17:4-5
Question of the day: If Solomon was so wise, why did he marry so many foreign women that he had specifically been warned not to do?
While Solomon was aware of what God had prohibited, he perhaps felt that he could handle these challenges and be an even greater king because of his great wisdom and spirituality. He married these women for political gain and the expansion of his empire, not for romance.
While his marriages did increase his empire, even he could not resist the pull of his wives' beliefs and religious practices. As the saying goes, he flew too close to the Sun and got burned.
