1 Kings 11:3-5
International Standard Version
3 He had 700 princess wives and 300 mistresses[a] who[b] turned his heart away from the Lord,[c] 4 because as Solomon grew older, his wives turned his affections away after other gods, and his heart was not fully as devoted to the Lord his God as his father David’s heart had been. 5 Solomon pursued Astarte, the Sidonian goddess, and Milcom, that detestable Ammonite idol.
