Solomon Turns from the Lord
1Now aKing Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, b“You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 3He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. 4For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and chis heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, das was the heart of David his father.1 Kings 16:31
31And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ehe took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the fSidonians, gand went and served Baal and worshiped him.1 Kings 18:4
4and hwhen Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water.)1 Kings 19:2
2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, i“So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.”1 Kings 21:7
7And Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern Israel? Arise and eat bread and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”Proverbs 22:14

26And I find something more nbitter than death: othe woman whose heart is psnares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but qthe sinner is taken by her.Mark 6:17-27
17 rFor it was Herod who had sent and seized John and sbound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. 18 tFor John had been saying to Herod, u“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20for Herod vfeared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he wheard him gladly.21But an opportunity came when Herod xon his birthday ygave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, zup to half of my kingdom.” 24And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s ▼
