1 Könige 11:3 In-Context

1 Und der König Salomo liebte viele fremde Weiber, und zwar neben der Tochter des Pharao: moabitische, ammonitische, edomitische, zidonische, hethitische,
2 von den Nationen, von welchen Jehova zu den Kindern Israel gesagt hatte: Ihr sollt nicht unter sie kommen, und sie sollen nicht unter euch kommen; gewiß, sie würden euer Herz neigen ihren Göttern nach! An diesen hing Salomo mit Liebe.
3 Und er hatte an Weibern siebenhundert Fürstinnen und dreihundert Kebsweiber; und seine Weiber neigten sein Herz.
4 Und es geschah zur Zeit, als Salomo alt war, da neigten seine Weiber sein Herz anderen Göttern nach; und sein Herz war nicht ungeteilt mit Jehova, seinem Gott, wie das Herz seines Vaters David.
5 Und Salomo wandelte der Astoreth nach, der Gottheit der Zidonier, und dem Milkom, dem Greuel der Ammoniter.
