1Kings:11:1-7

*
But King Solomon loved many foreign women ,
as well as the daughter of Pharaoh :
women of the Moabites ,
Ammonites ,
Edomites ,
Sidonians ,
and Hittites --
*
from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel , "
You shall not intermarry with them ,
nor they with you .
Surely they will turn away your hearts 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 .
*
For it was so ,
when Solomon was old ,
that his wives turned his heart after other gods ;
and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God ,
as was the heart of his father David .
*
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians ,
and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
*
Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD ,
and did not fully follow the LORD ,
as did his father David .
*
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab ,
on the hill that is east of Jerusalem ,
and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon .
