1 Kings 11:1-7

1KingH4428 Solomon, howeverH8010, lovedH157 manyH7227 foreignH5237 womenH802 along with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547—women of MoabH4125, AmmonH5984, EdomH130, and SidonH6722, as well as Hittite womenH2850. 2These women were fromH4480 the nationsH1471 about whichH834 the LORDH3068 had toldH559H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, “You must notH3808 intermarryH935 with them, for surelyH403 they will turnH5186 your heartsH3824 afterH310 their godsH430.” Yet SolomonH8010 clungH1692 to these women in loveH160. 3He hadH1961 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802 of royal birthH8282 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370—and his wivesH802 turned his heartH3820 awayH5186.

4For whenH6256 SolomonH8010 grewH1961 oldH2209, his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and he wasH1961 notH3808 wholeheartedlyH3824 devotedH8003 toH5973 the LORDH3068 his GodH430H3824, as his fatherH1 David had beenH1732. 5SolomonH8010 followedH1980H310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722H310 and MilcomH44451 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984. 6So SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; unlike his fatherH1 DavidH1732, he did notH3808 followH310 the LORDH3068 completelyH4390.

7At that timeH227 on a hillH2022 eastH5921 ofH6440 JerusalemH3389, SolomonH8010 builtH1129 a high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124 and for MolechH4432 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983.
