## 1 Kings 11:1-10 in Context (Verses 1–13 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/1) But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, *and* Hittites;*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/2) Of the nations *concerning* which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: *for* surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, *that* his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as *was* the heart of David his father.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/6) And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as *did* David his father.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/7) Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that *is* before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/8) And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/9) ¶ And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/10) And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/11) Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/12) Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: *but* I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-kings/11/13) Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; *but* will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
