What punishment did God give Solomon for his unwise policies?
Jeroboam was empowered by God to conquer him
He caused Rezon to demolish the high place which he built
He raised up Haded, the Edomite as an adversary against him
The kingdom was torn from him and given to his servant
Explanation
Due to Solomon's unwise policies, God declared that the kingdom would be taken away from him. However, out of respect for David, Solomon's father, this punishment was deferred until after Solomon's death. The kingdom was then divided, with ten tribes given to Jeroboam, one of Solomon's servants, and the remaining part (Judah) staying with Solomon's lineage.
(1 Kings 11:9–13)
