"For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites." — The *pagan worship*: Solomon follows *Ashtoreth* (*Ashtaret*, the Phoenician fertility goddess), *Milcom* (*Milkom*, the *Ammonite deity*). The epithet *shiqquts* (abomination) applied to Milcom indicates *theological disgust*.
