Proverbs About Friends and Family

Scripture: Proverbs 5,7,12-15,17,19-23,27-29,31

Learning Objectives:

• Students will learn we need to behave in certain godly ways to have the best relationships with our friends and family.
• Students will learn although Solomon did not make the best choices when it came to his friends and family (He had 700 wives and 300 concubines!), God gave him the wisdom to give important advice to others about friends and family.
• Students will learn God’s advice is as practical and helpful today as it was several thousand years ago during the time of Solomon.

Interesting Facts:

• Concubines in the ancient world were considered more of a secondary wife that a mistress. Many of Solomon’s 700 wives and 300 concubines were probably political marriages to strengthen his kingdom.
• King Solomon’s wives were later given the blame for introducing idol worship into Israel on a large scale.
