1 Kings 9-10

Solomon began to rule and prosper.  But with the prosperity he began to evidence a pride-filled heart.  He made allegiances with pagan nations, following in their ways of slavery and inhumanity.  If only Solomon would have stayed faithful to the unmatched wisdom God had given to him.

King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.  The whole world wanted an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart. (10:23-24).
