1 Kings 11 (성경통독): So here we learn about Solomon's weakness and the reasons for his downfall: King Solomon was obsessed with women. Pharaoh’s daughter was only the first of the many foreign women he loved—Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite. He took them from the surrounding pagan nations of which God had clearly warned Israel, “You must not marry them; they’ll seduce you into infatuations with their gods.” He faithlessly abandoned God and went off worshiping Ashtoreth goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh god of the Moabites, and Molech god of the Ammonites. He hasn’t lived the way God had showed him, hasn’t done what He has wanted, and hasn’t followed directions or obeyed orders as his father David did. Nevertheless, God would not take the whole kingdom away from Solomon. He would stick with him through his lifetime because of His servant David whom God chose and who did follow His directions and obey His orders.
