1 Kings 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:6

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord
As idolatry is, nothing more provoking to him:

and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father;
for though he did not relinquish the worship of the true God, and the service of the temple, yet inasmuch as he worshipped other gods besides, or connived at the worship of them, he did not wholly, and constantly, and solely serve the Lord, as his father did.

1 Kings 11:6 In-Context

4 For it happened, when Shlomo was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5 For Shlomo went after `Ashoret the goddess of the Tzidonim, and after Milkom the abomination of the `Ammonim.

6 Shlomo did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and didn't go fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

7 Then did Shlomo build a high place for Kemosh the abomination of Mo'av, on the mountain that is before Yerushalayim, and for Molekh the abomination of the children of `Ammon.

8 So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
