Hmm, what about Solomon? Although he worshiped God at first and was very
wise, later he married lots of wives and got caught up in their idolatry.
Plus, Ester and the Jews were oppressed by Haman, all because Mordecai
wouldn't bow to him and sin against God. I know none of these things are
sinful, and they may not count, but I just thought you'd like to consider
them.
