1 Kings 11

³ He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.

⁴ For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

⁵ Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

⁶ So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.

⁷ At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.
