1 Kings 11:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^3-4 Seven hundred of his wives were daughters of kings, but he also married 300 other women.^[a]

As Solomon got older, some of his wives led him to worship their gods. He wasn't like his father David, who had worshiped only the Lord God. ⁵ Solomon also worshiped Astarte the goddess of Sidon, and Milcom the disgusting god of Ammon. ⁶ Solomon's father had obeyed the Lord with all his heart, but Solomon disobeyed and did what the Lord hated.
