1 Kings 11:7

Solomon’s Foreign Wives

6So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.7At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.8He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
