1 Kings 11:4-8

4When Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away to follow other gods. He was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God, as his father David had been.

5Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites.

6Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, and unlike his father David, he did not remain loyal to the Lord.

7At that time, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abhorrent idol of Moab, and for Milcom, the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites, on the hill across from Jerusalem.

8He did the same for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods.
