Open this scene in the reader →

4And when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to Yahweh his God, like the heart of David his father.

5Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the god of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites.

6So Solomon did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he did not fully follow Yahweh, as David his father had done.
