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 It happened at the time of Solomon's old age that his wives guided his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father [had been].

5 Solomon went after Ashtoreth the god of [the] Sidonians and after Molech the abhorrence of the Ammonites.

6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of Yahweh and did not fully [follow] after Yahweh as David his father.

7 At that time, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the mountain which {faces} Jerusalem and for Molech, the abomination of the {Ammonites}.

8 Thus he did for all of his foreign wives, offering incense and sacrificing to their gods.
