In the book of 1 Kings, chapter 11, we find Solomon, King of Israel, with about 700 wives from various tribes. The Lord warned him about this, but Solomon ignored those warnings. The gravity of so many wives and concubines turned his heart away from God, toward the false gods the Lord warned him about.
God was angry by this. Instead of taking Solomon's kingdom away from him, he gathered adversaries against Solomon. He also was going to give all but one tribe to others. But He was going to wait until Solomon died. Solomon's son, the next one in line for the title of king, would not gain the title because of his father's foolish deeds.
