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

Verse 8 is found in chapter 11 of 1 Kings. Solomon loves many foreign women and eventually follows their gods. The text directly connects his marriages with the turning away of his heart. Unlike the request for wisdom in 3:9, the king’s heart is now no longer fully directed toward the Lord. Idolatry does not appear as a sudden change, but as the result of relationships and practices that progressively alter the ruler’s faithfulness.

Also tat Salomo allen seinen Weibern, die ihren Göttern räucherten und opferten.
Y así hizo para todas sus mujeres extranjeras, las cuales quemaban perfumes, y sacrificaban a sus dioses.
Hizo lo mismo para todas sus esposas extranjeras, que quemaban incienso y ofrecían sacrificios a sus dioses.
Et il fit ainsi pour toutes ses femmes étrangères, qui offraient des parfums et des sacrifices à leurs dieux.
Il simigliante fece per tutte le sue donne straniere, le quali facevano profumi, e sacrificavano agl’iddii loro
E assim fez para com todas as suas mulheres estrangeiras; as quais queimavam incenso e sacrificavam a seus deuses.
他為所有的妻妾,就是那些向自己神明燒香獻祭的外邦女子,也是這樣做。
