1 Kings 11:2-4
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
4 And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

1 Kings 11:2-4
New International Version
2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry(A) with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines,(B) and his wives led him astray.(C) 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,(D) and his heart was not fully devoted(E) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.
