1 Kings 11:5 in Context — 1 Kings 11

3 Il eut sept cents princesses pour femmes et trois cents concubines; et ses femmes détournèrent son cœur.

4 A l’époque de la vieillesse de Salomon, ses femmes inclinèrent son cœur vers d’autres dieux; et son cœur ne fut point tout entier à l’Éternel, son Dieu, comme l’avait été le cœur de David, son père.

5 Salomon alla après Astarté, divinité des Sidoniens, et après Milcom, l’abomination des Ammonites.

6 Et Salomon fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, et il ne suivit point pleinement l’Éternel, comme David, son père.

7 Alors Salomon bâtit sur la montagne qui est en face de Jérusalem un haut lieu pour Kemosch, l’abomination de Moab, et pour Moloc, l’abomination des fils d’Ammon.
