But, his biggest mistake was, In his old age, his wives turned away Solomon's heart after other gods. (1 Kings 11:4-5).

Solomon makes one other serious mistake. In violation of the Torah's prohibition He takes too many wives. In fact, he has 700 wives and 300 concubines.

King Solomon, son of King David, is known for his wisdom, building the first temple in Jerusalem, and expanding the Israelite kingdom to its greatest territorial extent. He is also credited with writing several books of The Bible, including Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.

Solomon killed his own brother

Answer:

King David was not held guilty for killing those who rebelled against him. King Solomon killed those whom King David commanded him to (1 Kings ch.2-3), so we can't blame him for that.

The only thing that King Solomon did wrong was to justify being lax in the details of Deuteronomy ch.17 (many wives, and buying horses from Egypt). The nature of his justification is beyond the scope of this answer.

The only major infraction that King Solomon did was his failure to supervise the households of his many wives sufficiently carefully. This laxity enabled some of them to lapse back into idolatry (many of them were converts). This lack of zeal was considered so blameworthy by God that the narrative is prophetically portrayed as if King Solomon himself lapsed into idolatry (1 Kings ch.11; and see Talmud, Shabbat 56b).

Solomon for 1 had many wives about 700 to be exact and 300 concubines! this was a big flaw that also Samson possessed which was the lust for women! Noy only this but most of the women were not Israelite which therefore claimed he was intermarrying which God was not pleased! The even bigger problem was his wives believed in false gods of other nations, Solomon even constructed temples for his wives to worship their gods rather than the true Almighty Lord Jehovah. NOW FINALLY IS THE MOST ALARMING BIT!!! HE HAD REBUKED GOD AND FELL FOR THE FALSE gods OF HIS WIVES!!! HE WORSHIPPED THOSE gods and goddesses OF FOREIGN LANDS!!! This was far most the biggest flaw yet! Solomon chose to leave GOD behind and follow the ways of his wives and concubines, He was technically telling GOD that he didn't need him!
