1 Kings 11:8 in Context — 1 Kings 11

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.

8 Et il fit ainsi pour toutes ses femmes étrangères, qui offraient des parfums et des sacrifices à leurs dieux.

9 L’Éternel fut irrité contre Salomon, parce qu’il avait détourné son cœur de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, qui lui était apparu deux fois.

10 Il lui avait à cet égard défendu d’aller après d’autres dieux; mais Salomon n’observa point les ordres de l’Éternel.
