1 Kings 11:2-6
English Standard Version
2 from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, (A)“You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 3 He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. 4 For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and (B)his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, (C)as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after (D)Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after (E)Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done.
