1 Kings 11:7

WEB

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.

Context

4When 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.

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

6Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.

7Then 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.

8So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which Yahweh commanded.
