1 Kings 11:5-8
Christian Standard Bible
5 Solomon followed Ashtoreth,(A) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom,(B) the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites.(C) 6 Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, and unlike his father David, he did not remain loyal to the Lord.
7 At that time, Solomon built a high place(D) for Chemosh,(E) the abhorrent idol of Moab, and for Milcom,[a](F) the abhorrent idol of the Ammonites, on the hill across from Jerusalem.(G) 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods.
