Context Readings

Solomon's Foreign Wives

2 even of nations of which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, "See ye come not at them, nor let them come to you: for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless to such Solomon clave and fell in love with them. 3 And he had seven hundred very Queens and three hundred concubines which turned always his heart. 4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart after other gods: so that his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
