In 1 Kings Chapter 11, we see King Solomon has also taken 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines (which is just below a wife status) - that's 1000 women and a whole lot more words in the house! He's taken on his own path instead of God's and ultimately leads Israel into a huge downfall. He's the wisest man, yet the most foolish and can't see it past his pride.
