1 Kings 11:1-4

1Now kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 foreignH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, womenH802 of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, SidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850;

2of the nationsH1471 concerningH413 which Jehovah saidH559 unto the children of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not goH935 among them, neither shall they comeH935 among you; for surely they will turnH5186 away your heartH3824 after their godsH430: SolomonH8010 clave unto these in loveH160.

3And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princesses, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370; and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 away his heartH3820.

4For it came to pass, when SolomonH8010 wasH1961 oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turnedH5186 away his heartH3824 after otherH312 godsH430; and his heartH3824 wasH1961 not perfectH8003 with Jehovah his GodH430, as wasH1961 the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
