Contextual Overview

1 King Solomon loved many women who were not from Israel. He loved the daughter of the king of Egypt, as well as women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. 2 The Lord had told the Israelites, "You must not marry people of other nations. If you do, they will cause you to follow their gods." But Solomon fell in love with these women. 3 He had seven hundred wives who were from royal families and three hundred slave women who gave birth to his children. His wives caused him to turn away from God. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives caused him to follow other gods. He did not follow the Lord completely as his father David had done. 5 Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the people of Sidon, and Molech, the hated god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did what the Lord said was wrong and did not follow the Lord completely as his father David had done. 7 On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built two places for worship. One was a place to worship Chemosh, the hated god of the Moabites, and the other was a place to worship Molech, the hated god of the Ammonites. 8 Solomon did the same thing for all his foreign wives so they could burn incense and offer sacrifices to their gods.

Cross-References

Isaiah 19:18
At that time five cities in Egypt will speak Hebrew, the language of Canaan, and they will promise to be loyal to the Lord All-Powerful. One of these cities will be named the City of Destruction.
Zephaniah 3:9
"Then I will give the people of all nations pure speech so that all of them will speak the name of the Lord and worship me together.
Acts 2:6
When they heard this noise, a crowd came together. They were all surprised, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But King Solomon loved many strange women,.... His love was a lustful and not a lawful one, and of women who were not only of foreign countries, but not his lawful wives, and these many:

together with the daughter of Pharaoh; besides her, or as he loved her, and perhaps more; his sin was not that he loved her who was his lawful wife, but others with her; it is very probable she was a proselytess, and had no hand in turning him to idolatry, since we read not of any high place built for an Egyptian idol:

women of the Moabites, Anmonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; all of the neighbouring nations. Some think he did this with political views, to get intelligence of the state of those countries, or to abate and extinguish their enmity; but it rather seems to be the fruit of lust or pride.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In noticing successively Solomon’s excessive accumulation of silver and gold 1 Kings 10:14-25, his multiplication of horses 1 Kings 10:26-29, and his multiplication of wives, the writer has in mind the warning of Moses against these three forms of princely ostentation, all alike forbidden to an Israelite monarch (marginal reference).

Zidonians - i. e., Phoenician women. A tradition states that Solomon married a daughter of Hiram, king of Tyre.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XI

Solomon's attachment to strange women, and consequent idolatry,

1, 2.

Number of his wives and concubines, 3.

In his old age they turn away his heart from God, 4.

He builds temples to idols, burns incense and sacrifices to

them, 5-8.

The Lord is angry with him, and threatens to deprive him of the

kingdom, but will leave one tribe for David's sake, 9-13.

The Lord stirs up Hadad, the Edomite, to be his enemy; the

history of this man, 14-22.

He stirs another adversary against him, Rezon the son of

Eliadah. He and Hadad plague Israel, 23-25.

Jeroboam also becomes his enemy, and the reason why, 26-28.

Ahijah the prophet meets Jeroboam, and promises, in the name of

the Lord, that God will rend Israel from the family of Solomon,

and give him ten tribes, 29-39.

Solomon, hearing of this, seeks to put Jeroboam to death, who

escapes to Egypt, where he continues till the death of Solomon,

40.

Solomon dies, after having reigned over Israel forty years; and

his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead, 41-43.

NOTES ON CHAP. XI

Verse 1 Kings 11:1. Many strange women — That is, idolaters; together with the daughter of Pharaoh: she was also one of those strange women and an idolater. But many think she became a proselyte to the Jewish religion; of this there is no evidence.
