1 Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites, 2 of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, "You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods." Solomon joined to these in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away. 4 When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

1 V tom král Šalomoun zamiloval ženy cizozemky mnohé, i dceru Faraonovu, i Moábské, Ammonitské, Idumejské, Sidonské a Hetejské,

2 Z národů těch, kteréž zapověděl Hospodin synům Izraelským, řka: Nebudete se směšovati s nimi, aniž se oni budou směšovati s vámi, neboť by naklonili srdce vaše k bohům svým. K těm přilnul Šalomoun milostí,

3 Tak že měl žen královen sedm set a ženin tři sta. I odvrátily ženy jeho srdce jeho.

4 Stalo se tedy, že když se zstaral Šalomoun, ženy jeho naklonily srdce jeho k bohům cizím, tak že nebylo srdce jeho celé při Hospodinu Bohu jeho, jako bylo srdce Davida otce jeho.

5 Ale obrátil se Šalomoun k Astarot, bohyni Sidonské, a k Moloch, ohavnosti Ammonské.

6 I činil Šalomoun to, což se nelíbilo Hospodinu, a nenásledoval cele Hospodina, jako David otec jeho.

7 Tedy vystavěl Šalomoun výsost Chámosovi, ohavnosti Moábské, na hoře, kteráž jest naproti Jeruzalému, a Molochovi, ohavnosti synů Ammon.

8 A tak vzdělal všechněm ženám svým z cizího národu, kteréž kadily a obětovaly bohům svým.
