God uses human agents to write His word. King Solomon, the Israelite King was the wisest king and used by God to write many Proverbs, Songs and Public Discourses. However, later in life, he fell into idol worship because of his wives and concubines (God condemns polygamy) and strayed away from the living God. His works are still inspired and this can never change. Jesus also mentioned Solomon in His Sermons at least thousand years after Solomon.

King Solomon wrote most of the Proverbs, the Song of Solomon and the Ecclesiastes which are included in the cannon of Scriptures. His prayer at the dedication of the Temple recorded in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel is considered a great plea to God who is the only One who is worthy of all worship. Could what he wrote still be considered inspired? All scripture is given by inspiration of God – 2 Tim 3:16.

While the human agents used their style of writing and in their historical and cultural set-up where God did use their scholarliness in some cases (some had little or no significant education, though), every word is inspired by God. Paul clarifies this in his letter to the Galatians when he deals with the word “Seed” and “seeds”. – Gal 3:16. Even the difference in the singular and plural (probably a jot or a tittle in Hebrew!) is significant and could have proved a great differentiator contradicting the Purpose of God (which is explained throughout in His-story and dealt with in ABHOT).

God used men as His instruments to write His word. The falling away from faith of such a person later in life (who was previously used by God to even write Scripture), is still a possibility. We have many examples in modern history too who were mightily used by God for the extension of His Kingdom but who themselves fell into sin and died without repenting.

The author of the letter to the Hebrews subscribes to this “falling away” when he mentions that though the Israelites came out of Egypt they failed to enter the promised land – Heb 3:19 and about the back-sliders: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. – Heb 6:4-6. Again, for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses's law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. – Heb 10:26-31.
