5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.
6And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.
7Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.
8And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.
9And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;
10And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.
11So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.
