Technically, both cases were actually explicitly stated to be getting rid of a total cesspool. Sodom and Gomorrah was a cesspool, obviously. The flood was also because the entire world was a cesspool and it was basically a "Ok. Let's wipe all that out and start over". Whether you agree with this or not doesn't change the fact that both of the noted cases were basically stated cases of the bad/evil. So citing them as justification is incorrect.

Solomon, however, isn't that hard to corrupt. Wise, yes. However, desire got the better of him and that wisdom didn't save him. It goes right in with his story.
