1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods… A picture of a man who has grown in the wrong direction! Backwards — downwards! A bright morning ending in a stormy night. What are these snowy leaves which strew the ground? Perished buds and blossoms of holy character. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. |
