If we were to name the wisest person in the world, anyone would say Solomon. He inherited the legacy of his father, King David, and was the man who completed the construction of the Temple of Jerusalem—the ultimate, lifelong aspiration of David. However, there is a crucial fact we must remember: 

• the Temple of Jerusalem was not purely Solomon's own achievement. It was only made possible because God accepted the heartfelt efforts, tears, and prayers of his father, David.

Solomon began his rule upon the era of peace and prosperity that his father had established. In order to lead this great nation wisely, he offered a thousand burnt offerings to God, and in return, he was granted an unprecedented and immense wisdom. It was a unique wisdom—an extraordinary glory like none before him and none after him.

However, as he grew older, King Solomon became spiritually clouded and began to bring countless foreign women into his palace. Amidst that life of indulgence and carnal pleasure, he ultimately lost his reason entirely. His dissolute behavior led him to bow down to pagan idols—the absolute greatest taboo in the eyes of God—and this became the definitive starting point for Israel’s downward spiral into ruin.

➡️ Out of sole consideration for his father David, God spared Solomon's own lifetime and chose to tear Israel into two nations only during the generation of his son.

➡️ In essence, the king known as the wisest man in the world ended up becoming the vanguard leader in destroying his own nation. This sin of idolatry was passed down through generations, continuously provoking God's wrath, and ultimately led to Israel’s utterly devastating destruction by Babylon.

📍 But what on earth does this have to do with the Song of Solomon?

While reading the Bible, I had always wondered: why are such bizarre and explicitly carnal contents included within the Holy Scriptures? I am referring to those passages that sound as though they were uttered in a drunken stupor, intensely lusting after the bodies of foreign women.

Today, I finally understand the reason why such a record had to be kept in the Bible. The book of the Song of Solomon is, in fact, an empalmed chapter preserved to expose exactly how far the once-wise King Solomon could fall.

There is simply no other way to explain this explicit text outside of this reality. It serves as a painful lesson to us: even a person who received the ultimate wisdom from heaven will eventually collapse into such a miserable and dissolute state if they do not remain constantly vigilant and strive until the very end.

✍️ Closing Remarks

Up until now, I have been reading through the Bible step by step, reaching Leviticus chapter 15, and have discovered many hidden spiritual treasures along the way. At times, there were complex phrases that were hard to comprehend through ordinary common sense, but among them all, the most incomprehensible book was precisely the Song of Solomon.

Now, it finally makes perfect sense why this song—drenched in the stench of worldly wealth, indulgence, and drunkenness—was bound into the Scriptures.

📍 This is not a radiant romance of a great hero; it is God's stern record that weaves the melancholy end of a wise man in its rawest form, serving as a profound lesson and warning to us all.
