    1King Solomon loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter—Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women.

    2These were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, 'You must not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, for they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.' Nevertheless, Solomon clung to them in love.

    3He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.

    4As Solomon grew older, 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.
