1 Kings 11:35 meaning
The tragic decline of Solomon's reign is a powerful reminder of the consequences of sin and idolatry. Once celebrated for his wisdom and devotion to God, Solomon allowed his heart to be drawn away by foreign wives and their gods, violating the covenant established with Israel. This shift marked the beginning of God's displeasure, resulting in the prophetic message of division concerning the kingdom. He was warned that while he would remain king during his life, the kingdom would ultimately be torn from his son and given to another—Jeroboam, an unlikely candidate emerging from Solomon's own service.
