Question

When Solomon was king, a prophet foretold God's judgment against David's lineage, saying that God would take away part of the kingdom from Solomon's descendants because of Solomon's poor decisions. What biblical command did this prophecy highlight?
The sabbath is to be observed every week.
Children are to obey and respect their parents.
Other gods are not to be worshiped.
Sacrifices are to be made on the Day of Atonement.

Answer 1

The prophecy that foretold God's judgment against David's lineage, which involved taking away part of the kingdom from Solomon's descendants, highlighted the biblical command that other gods are not to be worshiped. Solomon's downfall was attributed to his turning away from God and allowing the worship of other gods due to his marriages to foreign women, which led to idolatry in Israel. This disobedience directly violated the commandment against worshiping other gods.
