1 Rois 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 Rois 11:1 In-Context

1 Or, le roi Salomon aima plusieurs femmes étrangères, outre la fille de Pharaon: des Moabites, des Ammonites, des Iduméennes, des Sidoniennes et des Héthiennes,
2 D'entre les nations dont l'Éternel avait dit aux enfants d'Israël: Vous n'irez point chez elles, et elles ne viendront point chez vous; certaine-ment elles détourneraient votre cœur pour suivre leurs dieux. Salomon s'attacha à ces nations par l'amour.
3 Il eut donc pour femmes sept cents princesses, et trois cents concubines; et ses femmes détournèrent son cœur.
4 Et il arriva, au temps de la vieillesse de Salomon, que ses femmes détournèrent son cœur après d'autres dieux; et son cœur ne fut pas intègre avec l'Éternel son Dieu, comme le cœur de David, son père.
5 Et Salomon suivit Astarté, divinité des Sidoniens, et Milcom, l'abomination des Ammonites.
