1 Kings 11:1-3 - Solomon's Foreign Wives

¹ King Solomon loved many foreign women in addition to Pharaoh’s daughter: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women ² from the nations that the Lord had told the Israelites about, “Do not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, because they will turn you away from Me to their gods.” Solomon was deeply attached to these women and loved them. ³ He had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and they turned his heart away from the Lord.
