Solomon’s reign, once marked by wisdom, worship, and divine blessing, ends in spiritual failure. Despite God's clear commands, Solomon disobeys by marrying many foreign women who lead his heart away from the Lord. His fall unfolds in three stages: ignoring God's commands, disregarding His warnings, and openly compromising God’s character by tolerating idol worship. Though Solomon doesn’t fully abandon God, his divided heart results in national judgment. God raises up adversaries and chooses Jeroboam to rule most of Israel after Solomon’s death. The lesson warns that past faithfulness doesn’t ensure future obedience; daily commitment is essential to avoid spiritual collapse.
