1 Reyes 11:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:3

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred
concubines
In all 1000, a prodigious number; though these might not be all for use, but for state after the manner of the eastern monarchs; these were a far greater number than are alluded to in ( Song of Solomon 6:8 ) , unless the virgins without number there, were such of these as were not defiled by him; but the number here seems plainly referred to in ( Ecclesiastes 7:28 ) ,

and his wives turned away his heart;
both from his duty to his God, and from attendance to his business as a king, especially the former, as follows.

1 Reyes 11:3 In-Context

1 Pero el rey Salom贸n am贸 a muchas mujeres extranjeras junto con la hija de Fara贸n; a las de Moab, a las de Am贸n, a las de Idumea, a las de Sid贸n, y a las heteas;
2 de los gentiles de las cuales el SE脩OR hab铆a dicho a los hijos de Israel: No entrar茅is a ellas, ni ellas entrar谩n a vosotros; porque ciertamente ellas har谩n inclinar vuestros corazones tras sus dioses. A 茅stas pues se junt贸 Salom贸n con amor.
3 Y tuvo setecientas mujeres reinas, y trescientas concubinas; y sus mujeres hicieron inclinar su coraz贸n.
4 Y ya que Salom贸n era viejo, sus mujeres inclinaron su coraz贸n tras dioses ajenos; y su coraz贸n no era perfecto con el SE脩OR su Dios, como el coraz贸n de su padre David.
5 Porque Salom贸n sigui贸 a Astoret, diosa de los sidonios, y a Milcom, abominaci贸n de los amonitas.
