I guess not. I guess the whole old testament and some of the new never has anything to say about worshipping foreigner’s gods. Maybe King Solomon was unjustly accused

Maybe not. The adoption of a word, concept, myth, or fable to help explain or communicate an idea isn't worship. Every language carries forward or borrows words. Every culture carries remnants of its past and its contacts. Every religion relies heavily upon both language and culture to express itself.

The large waves that follow seismic activity are called tsunami's in English. That doesn't mean those American's on the west coast are Shinto Buddhists.
