1 Kings 11:1-4 But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians,

and Hittites-- (2) from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, "You shall not

intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods."

Solomon clung to these in love. (3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred

concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. (4) For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was

not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.

whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, "You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with

you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods." Solomon clung to these in love. (3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three

THE LOVE OF A FALSE OATH

things that I hate,' Says the LORD."

THE LOVE OF BRIBES

loves bribes, And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, Nor

does the cause of the widow come before them.

THE LOVE OF FALSE PROPHESY

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so.

But what will you do in the end?

THE LOVE OF WANDERING

wander; They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept

them; He will remember their iniquity now, And punish their sins."

THE LOVE OF SLEEP

Proverbs 20:13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes,
