Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. 3He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord.
God also raised up Rezon son of Eliada as Solomon’s adversary.
For Solomon has11:33 As in Greek, Syriac, and Latin Vulgate; Hebrew reads For they have. abandoned me and worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians; Chemosh, the god of Moab; and Molech, the god of the Ammonites. He has not followed my ways and done what is pleasing in my sight.
If you listen to what I tell you and follow my ways and do whatever I consider to be right, and if you obey my decrees and commands, as my servant David did, then I will always be with you.
Lord God my Father,
Harden my heart to the distractions of this world, Give me strength in your word to only follow you. Protect me from my adversary’s and give me your power to defeat the lost ways from my past. Give me a heart that longs for your truth above all else so I may follow your desire for me.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
