1 Kings 11:4-8

4For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

5For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.1

6And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 YhwhH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.2

7Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.

8And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
