As time went on, his heart was no longer in the worship of Israel's God. "His heart was not perfect", i.e. his conscience no longer pricked him at worshipping fake gods. His lack of wholehearted commitment to the true God was "evil in the sight of the Lord", resulting in God breaking off his relationship with Solomon. Israel were told time and again not to marry the women of the surrounding world (Ex. 34:12-16; Josh. 23:12,13; Deut. 7:3).
Kadri muda ulivyosonga mbele, moyo wake haukumwabudu tena Mungu wa Israeli."Moyo wake haukutimilika"yaani, dhamira yake haikumchoma tena kuabudu miungu inayodanganya. kukosa moyo wake wote kujitoa kwa Mungu wa kweli "ukawa ni uovu machoni pa Bwana"ikasababisha Mungu kuvunja uhusiano na Suleimani. Israeli waliambiwa mara kwa mara wasioane na wanawake wa mataifa yanayowazunguka (Kut. 34: 12 -16; Yoshua. 23: 12, 13; K/Torati 7:3).
