What did this reveal about his heart? 2) What were the consequences of Solomon’s disobedience? Why should this not have been a surprise? Who was affected by those consequences? 3) Why are the consequences of disobedience so serious? How might we feel the effects of our sin in this life? How has Jesus dealt with the eternal consequences of sin? 4) How did God show mercy to Solomon? How did he keep his promise to David? In what ways is Jesus a better king than Solomon? 5) How has God shown mercy to us? How should we respond to his mercy? 6) What does Jesus’ death teach about the seriousness of our disobedience? How does this challenge your attitude towards sin? 7) How does this passage encourage you when you make mistakes or disobey God? Can our sin ever affect God’s plans?
