79: 1000 Wives (1 Kings 11-13)
Manage episode 388962183 series 3418521
It's fair to say Israel's King Solomon doesn't hold back when it comes to getting married.
His enthusiasm for the opposite sex is legendary, as is his immense harem.
However, according to the Bible this does not sit well with God, especially as some of Solomon's wives are from pagan nations, and the women prove as seductive as their religions.
The seeds are sown for a complete unravelling of Solomon's kingdom, and within a few short chapters, Israel is in complete freefall.
Enjoy the schadenfreude.
