1 Kings 1 to 11, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes

John MacArthur takes readers through 1 Kings 1-11 and the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, exploring the historical period beginning with Solomon's ascent to the throne, continuing with his writings in the Old Testament, and concluding with his tragic end.

His writings in the Old Testament range from practical, pithy proverbs to beautiful romantic poetry--and all are filled with his knowledge and insights. Yet behind those writings stood a flawed man who was conflicted between deep wisdom and tragic folly.Sadly, the king who warned against so many sins did not follow his own advice, and he wound up leading Israel into idolatry.
