1 Kings 11:5-8

5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the [fertility] goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the horror (detestable idol) of the Ammonites.

6Solomon did evil [things] in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as his father David had done.

7Then Solomon built a high place for [worshiping] Chemosh the horror (detestable idol) of Moab, on the hill which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the horror (detestable idol) of the sons of Ammon.

8And he did the same for all of his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
