Bible Question: My question is did Solomon die in or out a relationship with God...can you document your answer with scripture and/or supplements to give insights to his relationship with God? |
Bible Answer: 2blessed, Let me give the scriptures that will stated about what happened to the relationship of solomon to God. 1Ki 11:4 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. 1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. It was mentioned that solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord: 1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 1Ki 11:2 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. 1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. God warn israel not to have covenant with the other nations at the time but solomon did as a matter of fact he had 700 hundred wives and 300 concuvines from different nations. Ex 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. But to answer you question if Solomon died in or out relationship with God? I cannot answer that in my own definition, it is God can justify anyone of us. Only God can say if solomon completely in or out his relationship with Him. God bless, Johnny |
