The Dilemma of Solomon

Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, 666 talents of gold. And then 1400 chariots, 12,000 horsemen. Solomon has made alliances with foreign nations that have not ended up well for Israel. There is developing underneath the surface a civil war between 10 tribes to the north and two tribes to the south. Jeroboam goes to two sets of counselors. They said to him, Rahab Bohem, you have to serve these people. You cannot continue with a hard policy like your father, Solomon. That's where everything went wrong.
