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

1 Solomon loved many women. They were of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites. 2 Jehovah warned the children of Israel about these nations. He said: You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you. They will certainly turn your hearts to go after their gods. Solomon loved his wives anyway. 3 He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives. His wives influenced his heart to turn away.
