New Testament

1 Kings 11:3-10 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.

4. And it came to be, when Shelomoh was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other mighty ones. And his heart was not perfect with יהוה his Elohim, as was the heart of his father Dawiḏ.

5. And Shelomoh went after Ashtoreth the mighty one of the Tsiḏonians, and after Milkom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6. Thus Shelomoh did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and did not follow יהוה completely, like his father Dawiḏ.

7. Then Shelomoh built a high place for Kemosh the abomination of Mo’aḇ, on the hill that is east of Yerushalayim, and for Moleḵ the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8. And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and slaughtered to their mighty ones.

9. Therefore יהוה was enraged with Shelomoh, because his heart had turned away from יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, who had appeared to him twice,

10. and had commanded him concerning this word, not to go after other mighty ones. But he did not guard what יהוה had commanded.
