I've always liked his conclusion to the whole matter though. He was definitely a very wise man.

I didn't like Solomon much either, then I realized that, in the hands of men, any men (or women), wisdom is as mishandled as any other blessing from God. Like Jennifer (see above), we are much better off with the Tree of Life. As you say, Life is Life.

I have trouble being kind-hearted with the choices he made as he continued as a king. I'm probably too picky, but the the long list of ladies and connections to other gods, when the Lord gave him WISDOM. NOT that I'm perfect, either, and don't make less-than-bright decisions and choices. Life is life.
