1 Kings 11:4-8

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. 5For SolomonH8010 went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the SidoniansH6722, and after MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984. 6And SolomonH8010 did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 7ThenH227 did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 a highH1116 placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the mount that is before JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432 the abominationH8251 of the children of AmmonH5983. 8And soH3651 did he for all his foreignH5237 wivesH802, who burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
