In 1 Kings 10 and 11, Solomon will solidify his influencer status. He will stray though, no longer using his influence for good. It seems to be a particular pitfall or temptation of influencers. Too much fame and fortune lead to self-gratification. Too much of self leaves very little room for the Lord. And when Solomon fails to value the Lord, he breaks the covenant.
