1 Kings 11:4-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and (A)his heart was not [a]wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 For Solomon went after (B)Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after [b](C)Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as David his father had done. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for (D)Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is [c]east of Jerusalem, and for (E)Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon. 8 Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
