1 Kings 11:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Of the nations, whereof the Lord had said unto the children of Israel, (A)Go not ye in to them, nor let them come in to you: for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods, to them, I say, did Solomon join in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, that were [a]princesses, and three hundred [b]concubines, and his wives turned away his heart.
4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, so that his heart was not [c]perfect with the Lord his God as was the heart of David his father.
