Solomon's Foreign Wives
Chapter 11Visible text2 paragraphs
King Solomon loved many foreign women: the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, Hittite;
from the nations which Yahweh had said to the {Israelites},[note: Literally "sons/children of Israel"] "You shall not {marry them},[note: Literally "go into them"] and they shall not {marry you}.[note: Literally "go into you"] They will certainly turn your heart after other gods." But Solomon clung to them to love.
