Today's reading is I Kings 11. The height of Solomon's reign is mirrored in the depth of his fall. Solomon falls into the same sin that is repeated over and over in the nation of Israel -- idolatry. Through his marriage to foreign wives, he erects shrines for foreign gods and participates in worship of these detestable beings. It is hard to image a man with the wisdom of Solomon worshiping such a being.
God told the Israelites in I Kings 11:2: "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods."
