3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. 4For it was so, when Solomon was old, dthat his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his eheart was not 1loyal to the Lord his God, fas was the heart of his father David. 5For Solomon went after gAshtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after hMilcom 2the abomination of the iAmmonites. 6Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David. 7jThen Solomon built a 3high place for kChemosh the abomination of Moab, on lthe hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. 8And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, mwho had appeared to him twice, 10and nhad commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded.
