“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 11:4-6 NIV
Solomon’s fall here demonstrates that even the wisest of men are capable of sin. Even the greatest amount of wisdom we can acquire in our life will never keep us from sinning so we should never rely on it when when between the choice of wisdom and God. Always choose God over everything else.
