Salomón desobedece a Dios

11 1-8 Salomón tuvo setecientas esposas extranjeras, que eran princesas. Entre ellas estaba la hija del rey de Egipto, además de otras mujeres moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, hititas y sidonias. También tuvo trescientas mujeres, con las que vivió sin haberse casado. Dios le había dicho a los israelitas: «No se casen con mujeres extranjeras, porque ellas los harán adorar a sus dioses». Y así sucedió. Cuando Salomón llegó a viejo, sus mujeres lo apartaron de Dios y lo hicieron adorar a otros dioses. Salomón adoró a la diosa de los sidonios llamada Astarté, y construyó un lugar para adorar a dos ídolos repugnantes: Quemós, que era un dios de Moab, y Milcom, que era el dios de los amonitas. Lo construyó en la montaña que está al este de Jerusalén. También edificó lugares para que sus esposas ofrecieran animales a sus dioses y quemaran incienso. Salomón actuó mal delante de Dios y no lo obedeció; en realidad, nunca se comprometió a obedecerlo por completo, como lo había hecho David, su padre.
