1 Kings 11:1-8

1But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites;

2of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their 1gods: to these Solomon was attached in love.

3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

4And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other 2gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his 3God, as the heart of David his father.

5And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the 4goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.

7Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their 5gods.
