The King Who Had It All

The Story
Written By Westside Family Church

Teaching Notes

Setting

When King David was very old, he could not keep warm every when they put covers on him.

1 Kings 1:1

Starting Strong

  • Baby Identity Crisis

  • Writes Proverbs

  • Builds Temple

  • Solomon the Rockstar

 

Finishing Poorly

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.  He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

1 Kings 11:1-6
