Chris.
Solomon was a man of Prayer and Worship. God had given to him much, he was incredibly rich, the richest man who dwelt on the Earth up to that time. It was not his riches that turned him away from God, it was his wives. He had a lust problem and this caused him to fall, it was similar in the life of David his father. Solomon should have learned from the mistakes and sins of his father.
