God became angry with Solomon because his wives had made him worship false Gods.
I Kings
The eleventh book of the Bible is the First Book of Kings. It tells the story of Israel from the latter days of King David's reign, through the splitting of the kingdoms and up to the reigns of Jehoram and Ahazia. It is a sad tale and shows how the people of Israel became rich and mighty when they obeyed God's commands, but were made poor and powerless because they turned their backs on God.
All quotations from the Bible are taken from the Authorised King James Version.
