*
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women :
the daughter of Pharaoh ,
and Moabite ,
Ammonite ,
E '
domite ,
Sido '
nian ,
and Hittite women ,
*
from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the people of Israel , "
You shall not enter into marriage with them ,
neither shall they with you ,
for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods ";
Solomon clung to these in love .
*
He had seven hundred wives ,
princesses ,
and three hundred concubines ;
and his wives turned away his heart .
*
For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods ;
and his heart was not wholly true to the LORD his God ,
as was the heart of David his father .
*
For Solomon went after Ash '
toreth the goddess of the Sido '
nians ,
and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
*
So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
and did not wholly follow the LORD ,
as David his father had done .
*
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab ,
and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites ,
on the mountain east of Jerusalem .
