Solomon unfortunately was a man who thought that he could legitimately find pleasure and satisfaction in life, by collecting many wives and many concubines. He fell into a more refined form of sinful pleasure, a culturally more acceptable form of pursuing sexual pleasures, and he barely escaped from the eternal condemnation of being a sinner himself, when he engaged in these things. I believe that He is saying here, that his marrying all these women was an experience that he had to repent of. I do not mean to say that he put all his wives away, except one. I am saying that the hearts of his many wives and concubines were "snares and nets" to his knowing God and doing what pleases God. In the end he truly saw that this pursuit of his, was sinful folly. So in this message we want, 1st of all – To talk about the "woman whose heart is snares and nets and whose hands are fetters. And then 2nd – We want to look at the One who is the Man among a thousand whom Solomon found to be wise and holy.
