- Solomon was outwardly at the height of his power, wealth and fame (See 10:14-29).
But what was going on within his heart in respects:
(a) of his affection, and
(b) of his relation to God (see 11:1-8)?
Read Prov. 4: 23-27. What was God’s chief charge against him? - How does the account of the events of 11:14-40 bring out God’s overruling hand?
Cf. Dan. 4:34, 35; Ps. 135:5, 6.
What effect should this truth have on a believing heart?
Cf. Acts 4:23-30.
