Yeah, we have the Proverbs and the wisdom of Solomon and Ecclesiastes and so many wonderful books that we're going to be going through. But he disobeyed what was told earlier that a king should not do. A king should not have many chariots, much gold and silver, and many wives. And all three of those things are related to foreign alliances.

And what God is saying in this kingdom that is established is that the king of Israel should reflect how God rules and reigns. So you can read some of the Psalms here, and they are the kingly Psalms where God is saying, this is the way a king should rule. Well, after David, Solomon takes the reins, and he is not ruling the way God would rule. And you can find all of this in 1 Kings 10-11.

We're going to see that the people have had it with Solomon, and they want some reform. And they go to Solomon and they say, look, we've had it. This is not good. The ten tribes to the north are going to say, this is not good for us at all. And we want to know, how are you going to rule? They're going to say to Solomon's son, Rehoboam, are you going to rule like Solomon did?

Because Solomon was a mean ruler at the end. You can read about this in 1 Kings 10 and 11. It says he had 700 wives and 300 concubines. He had 1,400 chariots, and he had 666 talents of gold. All three things that a king should not do, he had all of them in spades.

And his wives, they turned his heart away from God into worshiping the gods of the Canaanites, the people in the land, Baal and so forth. And the people had had it with him. And so that brings on the next period, the divided kingdom. And so as Solomon started out so well, he ended so bad, and that is going to lead to the next period where the kingdom is going to divide.

So in all three kings, you see the good, you see the bad and the consequences of it. David, he was a great king, and probably we would consider him the prototype of a king until Jesus, who is called, interestingly enough, the son of David. But even David got into trouble with Bathsheba, But here's the difference. Saul got into trouble, and his heart was unrepentant.

He basically said, okay, yeah, all right. The prophet called me on this. I did it. Let's not make a big deal out of it. No reason to put it on Facebook, okay? And David, he got into trouble, and Nathan the prophet nailed him with a message. And what was David's response? Repentance. Exactly. Psalm 51, which is, by the way, a great psalm before you go to confession. Yeah.
