Rehoboam's Neglect
ParableTestimony★★★Solomon had all the wealth at his disposal. He makes Bill Gates look like child’s play. This guy was richer than the rich. And not only that, if you thought a woman could make you happy, he had plenty of opportunity. But 700 didn’t do it. And when he gets to the end of this wild, desperate search for happiness, He realizes what he should have believed by faith in the beginning. It’s true. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.
Arnall, Jeremy, “A Sacred Trust: Character” (AudioVerse teaching 30800).
