God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 11:4-8
4In his old age, his wives tempted him to follow other gods. He was no longer committed to the Lord his God as his father David had been.
5Solomon followed Astarte (the goddess of the Sidonians) and Milcom (the disgusting idol of the Ammonites).
6So Solomon did what the Lord considered evil. He did not wholeheartedly follow the Lord as his father David had done.
7Then Solomon built an illegal worship site on the hill east of Jerusalem for Chemosh (the disgusting idol of Moab) and for Molech (the disgusting idol of the Ammonites).
8He did these things for each of his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
