³And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. ⁴For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that ^ehis wives turned away his heart after other gods: and ^fhis heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, ^gas was the heart of David his father. ⁵For Solomon went after ^hAshtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. ⁶And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father. ⁷Then did Solomon ⁱbuild a high place for ^jChemosh, the abomination of Moab, in ^kthe hill that is before Jerusalem, and for ^lMolech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. ⁸And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

⁹And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because ^mhis heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him ⁿtwice, ¹⁰and ^ohad commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
