Melachim Alef 11:6

6 And Sh’lomo did the rah in the sight of Hashem, and went not fully after Hashem, as did Dovid Aviv.

Melachim Alef 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.

Melachim Alef 11:6 In-Context

4 For it came to pass, when Sh’lomo was old, that his nashim inclined libo (his heart) after elohim acherim and levavo (his heart) was not shalem (undivided, fully devoted, complete) with Hashem Elohav, as was the levav Dovid Aviv.
5 For Sh’lomo went after Ashtoret elohei Tzidonim, and after Milcom shikkutz (the abomination of) Ammonim.
6 And Sh’lomo did the rah in the sight of Hashem, and went not fully after Hashem, as did Dovid Aviv.
7 Then did Sh’lomo build a high place for Kemosh, the shikkutz (abomination of) Moav, on the har (hill, i.e., Mount of Olives) that is facing Yerushalayim, and for Molech, the shikkutz (abomination of) the Bnei Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his nashim nokhriyyot, which burned ketoret and offered zevakhim unto their elohim.
