1 Kings 11:1-3

1 Kings 11:1-3 CSB

King Solomon loved many foreign women in addition to Pharaoh’s daughter:  Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women  from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, because they will turn your heart away to follow their gods.”  To these women Solomon was deeply attached  in love. He had seven hundred wives who were princesses and three hundred who were concubines,  and they turned his heart away.
