1 Kings 11:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Solomon’s Sin and God’s Judgment

11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter, including Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. ² They came from the nations about which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, “You must not enter into marriage with them, and they must not enter into marriage with you, or they will turn your hearts after other gods.” Solomon clung to them in love. ³ He had seven hundred wives who held the rank of princess and three hundred concubines. So they turned his heart away.
