The Philistine leaders went to her and said, “Persuade him to tell you where his great strength comes from, so we can overpower him, tie him up, and make him helpless. Each of us will then give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”

When Solomon was old, his wives seduced him to follow other gods. He was not completely devoted to Yahweh his God, as his father David had been.

Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.

It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,
from a stranger with her flattering talk,

Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey
and her words are smoother than oil,

Don’t lust in your heart for her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.

She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.

The mouth of the forbidden woman is a deep pit;
a man cursed by the Lord will fall into it.

And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, her heart a net, and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking: No eye will see me;
he covers his face.

They are well-fed, eager stallions,
each neighing after someone else’s wife.

All of them commit adultery;
they are like an oven heated by a baker
who stops stirring the fire
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
