SOLOMON'S SIN & SORROW: EXCESS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Solomon's Sin And Sorrow
a) Behind the story of the divided kingdom is the fall of Solomon. He did so well at first, yet he sank to a shameful low — as two sweeping chapters describe (1 Kings 10 and 11).
b) In this, we look at the factors behind Solomon's sin and fall from glory. We notice his excess, his disobedience, his neglect, and his several faults —a negative approach perhaps, but very instructive.
2. Excess
i) Gold and silver: Solomon accumulated enormous quantities of silver and gold (1 Kings 10:14-21, 27).
ii) Thousands of horses: Solomon's stock and trade in horses from Egypt was huge (1 Kings 10:26, 28-29).
iii) A thousand wives: Solomon had 700 wives, the daughters of foreign kings, and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:1-3).
