1 Kings 11:3–10

^3aHe had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.

⁴For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and ^ahis heart was not ¹wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

⁵For Solomon went after ^aAshtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after ^1bMilcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites.

⁶Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as David his father had done.

⁷Then Solomon built a high place for ^aChemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is ¹east of Jerusalem, and for ^bMolech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon.

⁸Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

⁹Now ^athe Lord was angry with Solomon ^bbecause his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, ^cwho had appeared to him twice,

¹⁰and ^ahad commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not observe what the Lord had commanded.
