1 Kings 11:2

2 de gentibus super quibus dixit Dominus filiis Israhel non ingrediemini ad eas neque de illis ingredientur ad vestras certissimo enim avertent corda vestra ut sequamini deos earum his itaque copulatus est Salomon ardentissimo amore

1 Kings 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:2

Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the
children of Israel, ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they
come in unto you
That is, they should not intermarry with one another; this is to be understood of the last mentioned, the Hittites, who were one of the seven nations this law respected, ( Deuteronomy 7:1 Deuteronomy 7:3 )

for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods;
which is the reason given for the making the above law, and was sadly verified in Solomon:

Solomon clave unto these in love;
he not only took them, but kept them, and expressed a strong affection for them.

3 fueruntque ei uxores quasi reginae septingentae et concubinae trecentae et averterunt mulieres cor eius
