Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines.

 

Think of all the mothers in law he must have had. Poor guy.

I have never understood the story of Solomon. How could someone given unlimited wisdom by God end up hooking up with 700 wives and 300 concubines?

Here is the account of Solomon in 1 Kings 3...

10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

But king Solomon loved many strange women

You mean there are other kinds?

I heard a man teach that Solomon never repented, and will go to hell. He pointed out that later scriptures David’s favorable status with God, but no similar scriptures are found for Solomon. He rejected the idea that Ecclesiastes was written AFTER such repentance.
