1 Reyes 11:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:1

But King Solomon loved many strange women
His love was a lustful and not a lawful one, and of women who were not only of foreign countries, but not his lawful wives, and these many:

together with the daughter of Pharaoh;
besides her, or as he loved her, and perhaps more; his sin was not that he loved her who was his lawful wife, but others with her; it is very probable she was a proselytess, and had no hand in turning him to idolatry, since we read not of any high place built for an Egyptian idol:

women of the Moabites, Anmonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
all of the neighbouring nations. Some think he did this with political views, to get intelligence of the state of those countries, or to abate and extinguish their enmity; but it rather seems to be the fruit of lust or pride.

1 Reyes 11:1 In-Context

1 Pero el rey Salom贸n, adem谩s de la hija de Fara贸n, am贸 a muchas mujeres extranjeras, moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, sidonias y heteas,
2 de las naciones acerca de las cuales el SE脩OR hab铆a dicho a los hijos de Israel: No os unir茅is a ellas, ni ellas se unir谩n a vosotros, porque ciertamente desviar谩n vuestro coraz贸n tras sus dioses. Pero Salom贸n se apeg贸 a ellas con amor.
3 Y tuvo setecientas mujeres que eran princesas y trescientas concubinas, y sus mujeres desviaron su coraz贸n.
4 Pues sucedi贸 que cuando Salom贸n era ya viejo, sus mujeres desviaron su coraz贸n tras otros dioses, y su coraz贸n no estuvo dedicado por entero al SE脩OR su Dios, como hab铆a estado el coraz贸n de David su padre.
5 Porque Salom贸n sigui贸 a Astoret, diosa de los sidonios, y a Milcom, 铆dolo abominable de los amonitas.
