And he must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

So there's your money, sex, and power.

Yeah.

And I think it's interesting when you get to 1 Kings 4, the last paragraph in that, it goes through how wise Solomon was about everything from plants to animals.

He spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs numbered 1,005.

He described plant life from all kind of cedars, and people came from all over to just listen to Solomon's wisdom.

And so you kind of see...

how this trail begins, which I think puts into light

the book of Ecclesiastes, when he gets to the end.

Because he's just like, it's all meaningless.

I've done it all.

I've seen it all.

His heart did drift away because of all the influence.

Because he brought in all these wives to make treaties with all these different nations, which you think that's wise.

Because he has a good relationship with them all because he's marrying their women.

But then they don't even believe in God.

They believe in other gods.

And that's what happened.

He started just allowing...

other gods to be part of his regime.
