Bible: 1 Kings 11:4-8
11:4 When Solomon became old, his wives shifted his allegiance to 1 other gods; he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God, as his father David had been. 2 11:5 Solomon worshiped 3 the Sidonian goddess Astarte and the detestable Ammonite god Milcom. 4 11:6 Solomon did evil in the Lord ’s sight; 5 he did not remain loyal to 6 the Lord , like his father David had. 11:7 Furthermore, 7 on the hill east of Jerusalem 8 Solomon built a high place 9 for the detestable Moabite god Chemosh 10 and for the detestable Ammonite god Milcom. 11 11:8 He built high places for all his foreign wives so they could burn incense and make sacrifices to their gods. 12
