*
But king Solomon loved many strange women ,
together with the daughter of Pharaoh ,
women of the Moabites ,
Ammonites ,
Edomites ,
Zidonians ,
and Hittites ;
*
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel ,
Ye shall not go in to them ,
neither shall they come in unto you :
for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods :
Solomon clave unto these in love .
*
And he had seven hundred wives ,
princesses ,
and three hundred concubines :
and his wives turned away his heart .
*
For it came to pass ,
when Solomon was old ,
that his wives turned away his heart after other gods :
and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God ,
as was the heart of David his father .
*
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians ,
and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
*
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD ,
and went not fully after the LORD ,
as did David his father .
*
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh ,
the abomination of Moab ,
in the hill that is before Jerusalem ,
and for Molech ,
the abomination of the children of Ammon .
