# Now King Solomon

This is the end of the story of Solomon. (Chapters 1-11) and the narrator starts to tell a new part of the story. God had told the people of Israel in Moses's law never to marry women from the Gentile nations. This was because their religious beliefs would negatively affect Israel. Solomon, the wisest man, became a fool; married many women from Gentile countries and his wives persuaded him to worship foolish idols. God became angry and warned he would take away 10 tribes from the kingdom of his son.
