Solomon turned away from God by marrying strange women that the lord had commanded not to. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines that made him worship other gods. God punishes him by taking the kingdom from him. Nevertherless because of God's covenant with David, he made him retain 2 tribes of Judah and Benjamin. God grants the 10 tribes of Israel to Jeroboam and Rehoboam Solomon's son reigns over Judah and Benjamin as it had been prophesied by prophet Ahijah. We learn not to be un equally yoked with non believers in any way whether marriage or walking in their counsel but to delight in the lord.
