Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 5

ՕՐ 30 31-ից

Solomon ignores his own writings against adultery, falls for many foreign women and starts honoring their gods. God angrily promises to tear all but one tribe from the kingdom. A psalmist urges Israel to forsake idols, which can’t speak, hear or see.

Note 1 Kings 11: Solomon finally had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3). In taking so many wives Solomon ignored the Lord’s commandment of Deuteronomy 17:17: ‘He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray.’ He did some disgusting things (1 Kings 11:5–8). The ‘one tribe’ of 1 Kings 11:13 is Judah. It also included Benjamin but by this time the latter was gradually losing its separate identity.
