*
And king Solomon loved many foreign women ,
even the daughter of Pharaoh ,
Moabites ,
Ammonites ,
Edomites ,
Sidonians ,
Hittites ;
*
of the nations which Jehovah said to the sons of Israel ,
You shall not go in to them ,
and they shall not go in to you ;
surely they shall turn aside your heart after their gods ;
Solomon clung to these in love .
*
And he had seven hundred wives ,
princesses ,
and three hundred concubines ;
and his wives turned away his heart .
*
And it happened ,
at the time Solomon was old ,
his wives turned away his heart after other gods ,
and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God ,
like the heart of his father David .
*
And Solomon went after Ashtoreth ,
goddess of the Sidonians ,
and after Milcom ,
the abomination of the Ammonites ;
*
and Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah ,
and did not go fully after Jehovah like his father David .
*
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh ,
the abomination of Moab ,
in the hill that is before Jerusalem ,
and for Molech ,
the abomination of the sons of Ammon ;
*
and so he did for all his foreign wives ,
who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods .
*
And Jehovah was angry with Solomon ,
for his heart had bent away from Jehovah ,
God of Israel who had appeared to him twice ,
*
and had given a charge to him concerning this thing ,
not to go after other gods ;
and he did not keep that which Jehovah commanded .
*
And Jehovah said to Solomon ,
Because this has been done by you ,
and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged on you ,
I shall surely tear the kingdom from you and shall give it to your servant .
*
Only ,
I will not do it in your days ,
for the sake of your father David ;
I shall tear it out of your son '
s hand .
*
Only I will not tear away all the kingdom ;
I will give one tribe to your son for my servant David '
s sake ,
and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen .
