In yesterday’s episode, we heard about Solomon’s fall from God. Though he was wise and wealthy, his heart sought his own desires. He disobeyed God and married foreign women—hundreds of them. And with each new wife, he would give a bit of his heart to a false god. His life, though filled with such promise, ended up full of strife and sorrow. But God’s grace was with him and in the end, he turned back to the Lord and praised the God of his father, the One true God. Today we’ll hear how dissension was already brewing before Solomon’s death, and how his son Rehoboam, his successor, would face the consequences of Solomon’s sins, and his own prideful spirit.
