Compromised Scripture 1 King Solomon loved many foreign women in addition to Pharaoh’s daughter: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women 2 from the nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, because they will turn your heart away to follow their gods.” To these women Solomon was deeply attached in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives who were princesses and three hundred who were concubines, and they turned his heart away. 4 When Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away to follow other gods. He was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God, as his father David had been. 5 Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, and unlike his father David, he did not remain loyal to the Lord. 7 At that time, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abhorrent idol of Moab, and for Milcom, the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites, on the hill across from Jerusalem. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods. 9 The Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 10 He had commanded him about this, so that he would not follow other gods, but Solomon did not do what the Lord had commanded. 11 Then the Lord said to Solomon, “Since you have done this and did not keep my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant. 12 However, I will not do it during your lifetime for the sake of your father David; I will tear it out of your son’s hand. 13 Yet I will not tear the entire kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem that I chose.” 1 Kings 11:1-13 CSB Additional Resources Explore the Bible: 1, 2 Kings Summer 2022; Biblegateway.com; preceptaustin.org; Biblehub.com/commentaries; Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible, Volume 2 Joshua to Esther *Notes adapted from Explore the Bible, LifeWay Christian Resources.

God’s Word - Devoted to Him HE WILL DO UNLOOKED-FOR THINGS What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 “As we wait upon God, things that the human heart cannot conceive — what “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man” (1 Corinthians 2:9) — will be revealed to us. These things, Paul says (in 2:10), are the things the Holy Spirit is to reveal. Paul is quoting Isaiah 64:4. The previous verses in Isaiah refer to the low state of God’s people. Prayer has been poured out: “Look down from heaven” (63:15); “Why hast thou … hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake” (63:17). And still more urgent, “Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down … as when the melting fire burneth … to make thy name known to thine adversaries!” (64:1-2). Then follows the plea from the past: “When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence” (64:3). And now faith has been awakened by the thought of things “we looked not for” — for He is still the same God. For those “that waiteth for him,” God has prepared what “men“ have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen” (64:4). God alone knows what He can do for His waiting people. As Paul expounds and applies it: “The things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:11). “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit” (verse 10). The need of God’s people, and the call for His intervention, are as urgent in our day as in Isaiah’s time. What is to be done? We must wait upon God. We must desire and believe, we must ask and expect, that He will do unlooked-for things. The wonder-doing God, who can surpass all our expectations, must be the God of our confidence. From: In Waiting on God “Jesus will not be a Savior to any man Who refuses to bow to Him as Lord.” Walter Chantry
