Which of the following punishment was meted out to Solomon as a result of his idolatrous?
He would lose all his wives and concubines to his enemies
All the tribes of Judah would be taken away from him
All his children and wives would go into exile
All the palaces and store houses would be occupied by his enemies
Explanation
B: The answer to the question 2 is all the tribes of Judah would be taken away from him. As a result of Solomon's idolatrous ways, God punished him by decreeing that all the tribes but Judah would be taken away from him, leading to the division of the kingdom of Israel. This punishment was fulfilled during the reign of Solomon's son, Rehoboam, when ten tribes rebelled against him and formed the northern kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam (1 Kings 11:11-13, 1 Kings 12; 16 - 20)
