Yes, he did, but way into his age.

Solomon was 13 when he took the throne, so the sins committed happened 14 years prior to David’s death................

Huh. I was sure Solomon was 20 when he took the throne. I searched through the Bible and the best I could find was that his son Rheaboam was 41 when he became king, which means he was born a year before Solomon became king, which meant he was conceived two years before. If Solomon were 20 at kingship that'd make him 18 at marriage.

Why do you think Solomon was 13?
