1 Kings 11:1-7
1Now 1KingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 foreignH5237 womenH802 along with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547: MoabiteH4125, AmmoniteH5984, EdomiteH130, SidonianH6722, and HittiteH2850 womenH802,
2from the nationsH1471 of whichH834 the LordH3068 had saidH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, “2You shall not 3associateH935 with them, norH3808 shall they 4associateH935 with you; they will certainlyH403 turnH5186 your heartH3824 awayH5186 5to followH310 their godsH430.” SolomonH8010 clungH1692 to theseH1992 in loveH157.
36He hadH1961 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, who were 7princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370; and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3820 awayH5186.
4For whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3824 awayH5186 8to followH310 otherH312 godsH430; and 9his heartH3824 was not 10whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 his GodH430, as the heartH3824 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had been.
5For SolomonH8010 becameH1980 a followerH1980H310 of 11AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, and of 1213MilcomH4445 the abhorrentH8251 idolH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
6So SolomonH8010 didH6213 whatH7451 wasH7451 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and did not followH310 the LordH3068 fullyH4390, as his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had done.
7ThenH227 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 a highH1116 placeH1116 for 14ChemoshH3645, the abhorrentH8251 idolH8251 of MoabH4124, on the mountainH2022 that is 15eastH5921H6440 of JerusalemH3389, and for 16MolechH4432, the abhorrentH8251 idolH8251 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.
