King Solomon was obsessed with women. Pharaoh's daughter was only the first of the many foreign women he loved—Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite. He took them from the surrounding pagan nations of which God had clearly warned Israel, "You must not marry them; they'll seduce you into infatuations with their gods." Solomon fell in love with them anyway, refusing to give them up. He had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines—a thousand women in all! And they did seduce him away from God. As Solomon grew older, his wives beguiled him with their alien gods and he became unfaithful—he didn't stay true to his God as his father David had done. Solomon took up with Ashtoreth, the whore goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the horrible god of the Ammonites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But King Solomon loved many strange women,.... His love was a lustful and not a lawful one, and of women who were not only of foreign countries, but not his lawful wives, and these many:
together with the daughter of Pharaoh; besides her, or as he loved her, and perhaps more; his sin was not that he loved her who was his lawful wife, but others with her; it is very probable she was a proselytess, and had no hand in turning him to idolatry, since we read not of any high place built for an Egyptian idol:
women of the Moabites, Anmonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; all of the neighbouring nations. Some think he did this with political views, to get intelligence of the state of those countries, or to abate and extinguish their enmity; but it rather seems to be the fruit of lust or pride.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In noticing successively Solomon’s excessive accumulation of silver and gold 1 Kings 10:14-25, his multiplication of horses 1 Kings 10:26-29, and his multiplication of wives, the writer has in mind the warning of Moses against these three forms of princely ostentation, all alike forbidden to an Israelite monarch (marginal reference).
Zidonians - i. e., Phoenician women. A tradition states that Solomon married a daughter of Hiram, king of Tyre.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XI
Solomon's attachment to strange women, and consequent idolatry,
1, 2.
Number of his wives and concubines, 3.
In his old age they turn away his heart from God, 4.
He builds temples to idols, burns incense and sacrifices to
them, 5-8.

kingdom, but will leave one tribe for David's sake, 9-13.
The Lord stirs up Hadad, the Edomite, to be his enemy; the
history of this man, 14-22.
He stirs another adversary against him, Rezon the son of
Eliadah. He and Hadad plague Israel, 23-25.
Jeroboam also becomes his enemy, and the reason why, 26-28.
Ahijah the prophet meets Jeroboam, and promises, in the name of
the Lord, that God will rend Israel from the family of Solomon,
and give him ten tribes, 29-39.
Solomon, hearing of this, seeks to put Jeroboam to death, who
escapes to Egypt, where he continues till the death of Solomon,
40.
Solomon dies, after having reigned over Israel forty years; and
his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead, 41-43.
NOTES ON CHAP. XI
Verse 1 Kings 11:1. Many strange women — That is, idolaters; together with the daughter of Pharaoh: she was also one of those strange women and an idolater. But many think she became a proselyte to the Jewish religion; of this there is no evidence.
