2
of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Yisra'el, You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Shlomo joined to these in love.
3
He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
4
For it happened, when Shlomo was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5
For Shlomo went after `Ashoret the goddess of the Tzidonim, and after Milkom the abomination of the `Ammonim.
6
Shlomo did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and didn't go fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
7
Then did Shlomo build a high place for Kemosh the abomination of Mo'av, on the mountain that is before Yerushalayim, and for Molekh the abomination of the children of `Ammon.
8
So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9
The LORD was angry with Shlomo, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, who had appeared to him twice,
10
and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn't keep that which the LORD commanded.
11
Therefore the LORD said to Shlomo, Because this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
12
Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
