1 Kings 11:4

Solomon's Apostasy

³ He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away. ⁴ For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been. ⁵ For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.
