King Solomon Forgets the Lord

King Solomon, however loved many foreign women
besides Pharaoh's daughter -
Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites.
They were from nations
about which the Lord had told the Israelites,
"You must not intermarry with them,
because they will surely
turn your hearts after their gods."
Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.
He had seven hundred wives of royal birth
and three hundred concubines,
and his wives led him astray.
As Solomon grew old,
his wives turned his heart after other gods,
and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God,
as the heart of David his father had been.
He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians,
and Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites.
So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord;
he did not follow the Lord completely,
as David his father had done.

(1 Kings 11:1-6)
