In considering Saul and Solomon, the spiritual hazards we should avoid are in allowing others to move us away from or weaken our faith and in luxurious living at the expense of or in disregard of others’ plight.

Both started out well but did not finish well. Saul let jealousy destroy him and Solomon let pleasure destroy him.
-
The spiritual hazards that both Saul and Solomon possessed were vanity, selfishness, and being prideful. None of these things are beneficial.

We should avoid idols, pride, and letting our sin life conquer us instead of mastering our sin.
