1 Kings 11:1-7

1NowH7227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strange womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, womenH802 of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, Zidonians, and HittitesH2850;

2of the nationsH1471 concerning whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall notH3808 goH935 among them, neitherH3808 shall they comeH935 among youH834: for surelyH403 they will turnH5186 awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 clave unto theseH1992 in loveH160.

3And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 awayH5186 his heartH3820.

4For it cameH1961 to passH1961, when SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turnedH5186 awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was notH3808 perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

5For SolomonH8010 went afterH310 Ashtoreth the goddessH430 of the Zidonians, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.

6And SolomonH8010 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went notH3808 fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as didH6213 DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

7Then didH834 SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an highH1116 placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the mountH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432 the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
