1 Kings 11:4-8 ▼

4 When Solomon became old, his wives shifted his allegiance to other gods; he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

5 Solomon worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte and the detestable Ammonite god Milcom.

6 Solomon did evil in the LORD's sight; he did not remain loyal to the LORD, like his father David had.

7 Furthermore, on the hill east of Jerusalem Solomon built a high place for the detestable Moabite god Chemosh and for the detestable Ammonite god Milcom.

8 He built high places for all his foreign wives so they could burn incense and make sacrifices to their gods.
