Translation
Goddess of [the] Sidonians, and Chamos,1 god of [the] Ammonites, whom Solomon served. He married wives from the gentiles, who, together with the Israelite wives, were seven hundred, as well as three hundred concubines. From all of these was born his son Rehoboam, from foreigners, [sc. and he was] unworthy of the throne. Polygamy, you see, does not result in fertility.
