1. In addition to Pharaoh’s daughter, King Solomon loved many foreign women, including Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
2. These came from the nations that the Lord had commanded the Israelites about: "Don’t intermarry with them. They will definitely turn your heart toward their gods." Solomon clung to these women in love.
3. He had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred secondary wives. They turned his heart.
4. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods. He wasn’t committed to the Lord his God with all his heart as was his father David.
