Bible. Kings, 1st
11:010:025 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses,
and mules, a rate year by year.
11:010:026 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he
had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and
with the king at Jerusalem.
11:010:027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and
cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the
vale, for abundance.
11:010:028 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn:
the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
11:010:029 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred
shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and
so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of
Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
11:011:001 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the
daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,
Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
11:011:002 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.
11:011:003 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred
concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
11:011:004 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.
11:011:005 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
11:011:006 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not
fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
11:011:007 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.
11:011:008 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt
incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
11:011:009 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was
turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto
him twice,
11:011:010 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should
not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD
commanded.
