1 Kings 11:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² The Lord had warned the Israelites about these nations. He said, ‘You must not marry people from these nations. If you do, they will cause you to worship their own gods.’ But Solomon did love these foreign women and he married them.

³ Solomon had 700 royal wives. He also had 300 slave wives.^[a] His wives caused him to turn away from the Lord. ⁴ When Solomon became old, his wives caused him to serve other gods. Solomon no longer completely loved the Lord his God as his father David had done.
