The End of Solomon. Amid these unmistakable signs of the decline of his kingdom Solomon died, when about sixty years of age. His rule of forty years had been divided into two parts of nearly equal duration, but of a very differ- ent character. The first period, marked by glory, power and righteousness, had been succeeded by another of degrada- tion, of weakness and of unfaithfulness to the God of Israel. The very brief manner in which the sacred writers record his demise (III Kings xi, 41, sq. ...; II Paralip. Ix, 29, sq. ; offers a striking contrast with the fulness of details they supply concerning the last days of David. Differently from his dying father, Solomon could not speak to his suc- cessor of a prosperity near at hand, for he knew with full certainty from Jehovah that the large States he had inherited from David would be soon divided, and that only the much smaller portion would belong to his son and successor ; nor could he mo«it likely address to this same son words of ear :- est, loving entreaty that he should serve faithfully the God of Israel, seeing that he himself had not only been long unfaith- ful to Jehovah's worship, but also died without those feelings of repentance which had secured to David his pardon.
