Solomon

Solomon was King David's son,and the heir to his throne.When he became king,God answered a prayer from Solomon to give him wisdom by doing just that.So,Solomon was made one of the most wise men in the world.Solomon is also the king who oversees the building of the temple.Yet,Solomon had a weakness for women,and he had numerous wives and concubines.His love for women led to his turning away from God in that many of the women who took to himself were for political purposes and worshipped pagan gods.This led to his falling away from God and even worshipping the gods of the pagans.At the time of Solomon's death,he had reigned over Israel for forty years.
