1 Kings 11:1
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides
Pharaoh's daughter – Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and
Hittites.
(2) 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.
(3) He had seven
hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred
concubines, and his wives led him astray.
(4) 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.
(5) He followed Ashtoreth
the goddess of the Sidonians, and
Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites.
(6) So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not
follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done.
Nehemiah 13:26
Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king
of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like
him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all
Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.
