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 Ahora bien, adem谩s de casarse con la hija del fara贸n, el rey Salom贸n tuvo amor铆os con muchas mujeres moabitas amonitas, edomitas, sidonias e hititas, todas ellas mujeres extranjeras
2 que proced铆an de naciones de las cuales el SE脩OR hab铆a dicho a los israelitas: 芦No se unan a ellas, ni ellas a ustedes, porque de seguro les desviar谩n el coraz贸n para que sigan a otros dioses禄. Con tales mujeres se uni贸 Salom贸n y tuvo amor铆os.
3 Tuvo setecientas esposas que eran princesas, y trescientas concubinas; todas estas mujeres hicieron que se pervirtiera su coraz贸n.
4 En efecto, cuando Salom贸n lleg贸 a viejo, sus mujeres le pervirtieron el coraz贸n de modo que 茅l sigui贸 a otros dioses, y no siempre fue fiel al SE脩OR su Dios como lo hab铆a sido su padre David.
5 Por el contrario, Salom贸n sigui贸 a Astart茅, diosa de los sidonios, y a Moloc, el detestable dios de los amonitas.
