Bible Question: Why Solomon in 20yrs, he very close to God. But after 20yrs he fail in to sins and he fall away?
Why he can close to God, but in the end he leaving God?

Bible Answer: First of all of course He is a normal man that can commit sin. If remember david committed sin also but he repented and accepted his mistake.

Im sure Solomon as close to God he knows the laws of God even from the day of Moses. God reminded them not to have children from the nation sorrounded them to be thier wives because it turn them heart away from God. But Solomon ignore it by having 700 wives and 300 concuvines from different nations.

1 Kings 11:1-4 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

From those verses that I quoted stated that "His heart heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father."

Maybe Solomon loved his wives more than God.
