She exclaimed to the king, “Everything I heard in my country about your achievements and wisdom is true! I didn’t believe what was said until I arrived here and saw it with my own eyes. In fact, I had not heard the half of it! Your wisdom and prosperity are far beyond what I was told.
1 Kings 10:6-7 NLT
Each year Solomon received about 25 tons of gold. This did not include the additional revenue he received from merchants and traders, all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land.
1 Kings 10:14-15 NLT
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord . In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God, as his father, David, had been. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites.
1 Kings 11:1, 3-5 NLT
*Killers all the time*
Fame
Wealth
Wayward and unbelieving women
These are killers all the time!
If you have any of them then get nearer to the Lord and watch your worship!
