1 Kings 11-12 Solomon’s Family Downfall

How many wives did God want for Solomon?  Why? What happened to Solomon’s wisdom?  What warning does this give to us?  Note the refrain: “The LORD raised up against Solomon…”  What message did God give through Ahijah?  How did God show His justice?  How did He show His mercy?  What amazing promise did God make to Jeroboam? (11:37-39)  How did Rehoboam show his foolishness?  Why did he do this?  How did Jeroboam show his foolishness? (12:26-33)
