632.

Solomon Turns from God

1.

Today's Passage: 1 Kings 11:1-13


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).




2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

20th Strategy.
And What Do I Do With That?



  • Open your heart in prayer.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
  • Read the passage.
  • Re-read the passage.
  • Are there hard realities addressed in the passage?
  • Ask God to give you the ability to see people through His eyes.
  • Ask God to give you the ability to love people as He loves them.
  • Give God the permission to change your mind, your heart, and your words.
  • Realize that no matter where you stand, you are being molded.
  • Bring your heart back to the Father and pray for those you love.
  • Remember to thank God for His answers.


1. Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites.
2. The LORD had clearly instructed the people of Israel, 'You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.' Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway.
3. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the LORD.

4. In Solomon's old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the LORD his God, as his father, David, had been.
5. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites.
6. In this way, Solomon did what was evil in the LORD'S sight; he refused to follow the LORD completely, as his father, David, had done.

7. On the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, he even built a pagan shrine for Chemosh, the detestable god of Moab and another for Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites.
8. Solomon built such shrines for all his foreign wives to use for burning incense and sacrificing to their gods.

9. The LORD was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10. He had warned Solomon specifically about worshiping other gods, but Solomon did not listen to the LORD'S command.
11. So now the LORD said to him, "Since you have not kept my covenant and have disobeyed my decrees I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your servants.
12. But for the sake of your father, David, I will not do this while you are still alive. I will take the kingdom away from your son.
13. And even so, I will not take away the entire kingdom; I will let him be king of one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, my chosen city."
1 Kings 11:1-13 NLT

I think it interesting that God’s Love and promise to David, “a man after God’s own heart” was so strong that He continued covering the people with the blessing of a Jewish King and a profitable nation for another generation. Even though Solomon had disobeyed in his old age.
And God even kept one son a king.

But another thing this reminds me. Don’t get lazy in my old age and let the gods of the world seduce me into not following God ALWAYS!
