1 Kings 11:5-7

5Solomon worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte and the detestable Ammonite god Milcom.

6Solomon did evil in the Lord’s sight; he did not remain loyal to the Lord, like his father David had.

7Furthermore, on the hill east of Jerusalem Solomon built a high place for the detestable Moabite god Chemosh and for the detestable Ammonite god Milcom.
