How did Solomon misuse the gift of wisdom God gave him ?

Answer 1

In his old age, after he flouted God’s express commands for his servants not to intermarry with the pagans and for his kings not to take many wives to themselves, Solomon lost his wisdom. In doing so, let it be noted, Solomon went against his own counsel: “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him.” As a result, Solomon became a fool and died outside of God’s favor.

Solomon's bad outcome demonstrates that knowledge, great ability, or power, riches, and fame are not the most important things, and that to turn away from Jehovah is to forsake wisdom. Solomon’s own counsel proved true: “More than all else that is to be guarded, safeguard your heart, for out of it are the sources of life.” (1Ki 3:9; Pr 4:23) His case illustrates the treacherousness and desperateness of the heart of sinful man, but more, it shows that the best of hearts can be enticed if constant vigilance is not kept.

In the Christian congregation, all of us have some sort of gift that can benefit others. However, those gifts will not save us from destruction if we turn our backs on Jehovah's righteous provisions that are found in his word the Bible.

Answer 2

He disobeyed a number of God's orders in order to build up his kingdom. He married foreign women in order to create political alliances, even though he knew that he was only supposed to marry Israelite women. He also amassed a huge number of horses and chariots despite the fact that God had forbidden it. And finally, he alienated his own people by forcing them to work for him as slaves, building his palace.

Because his foreign wives turned his heart away from God, he ended up worshipping false gods and building altars to them. His wisdom gave him the ability to prosper financially, but it didn't keep him from turning away from the one true God.

Answer 3

solomon started to trust his own wisdom more than gods wisdom, so when god told him to do something and solomon thought he knew better, he was misusing it.

although, he had like thousands of wives - that's pretty unwise if you ask me, one is enough!
