He was envious of David (the new one chosen by God) and even tried to kill him. Envy filled Saul's heart with hatred and caused his soon end. Solomon, was a wise king, son of David and Bathsheba, widow of Uriah. Solomon inherits his father's kingdom. Endowed with the wisdom that God gave him, that is to say "a listening heart", however, the Bible says that he had 700 women and 300 concubines, most of them from other nations. They brought their own religion, their idolatrous cults and made Solomon's heart begin to move away from God, as did Saul.</span>
