But King Solomon loued many strange women, ( together with ye daughter of Pharaoh) women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians & Hittites:

Of the nations concerning which the Lord said vnto the children of Israel, Yee shall not goe in to them, neither shall they come in vnto you, for surely they will turne away your heart after their gods: Solomon claue vnto these in loue.

And he had seuen hundred wiues, Princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wiues turned away his heart.

For it came to passe when Solomon was old, that his wiues turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of Dauid his father.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddesse of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Amorites.

And Solomon did euill in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did Dauid his father.

Then did Solomon build an hie place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Ierusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

And likewise did hee for all his strange wiues, which burnt incense and sacrificed vnto their gods.
