1 Kings 11:1–8

But aking Solomon loved bmany strange women, ||together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and cHittites; 2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, dYe shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 *For 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. 5 For Solomon went after hAshtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after ||Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and †went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon ibuild an 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. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
