Old Testament

New Testament

1 Kings 11:3-6 New International Version (NIV)

3. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

4. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

5. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites.

6. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.
