11:010:026 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen:  and he
           had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
           horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and
           with the king at Jerusalem.

11:010:027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and
           cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the
           vale, for abundance.

11:010:028 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: 
           the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

11:010:029 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred
           shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty:  and
           so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of
           Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

11:011:001 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the
           daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,
           Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: 

11:011:002 Of the nations concerning which the lord said unto the
           children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall
           they come in unto you:  for surely they will turn away your
           heart after their gods:  Solomon clave unto these in love.

11:011:003 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred
           concubines:  and his wives turned away his heart.

11:011:004 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives
           turned away his heart after other gods:  and his heart was not
           perfect with the lord his God, as was the heart of David his
           father.

11:011:005 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
           and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

11:011:006 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the lord, and went not
           fully after the lord, as did David his father.

11:011:007 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the
           abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and
           for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

11:011:008 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt
           incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

11:011:009 And the lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was
           turned from the lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto
           him twice,

11:011:010 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should
           not go after other gods:  but he kept not that which the lord
           commanded.

11:011:011 Wherefore the lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is
           done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my
           statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the
           kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
