Melachim Alef 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:8

And likewise did he for all his strange wives
That is, built high places for their idols, or suffered them to be built; for when he had done it for one, he could not refuse it to another, without greatly disobliging them; even for as many of them,

which burnt incense, and sacrificed unto their gods;
the gods of the countries from whence they came, and in the worship of which they had been brought up: this shows that the best and wisest of men, when left to themselves, may do the worst and most foolish of all things; as nothing can be more so than the worship of such wretched deities.

Melachim Alef 11:8 In-Context

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.

9 And Hashem was angry with Sh’lomo, because levavo was turned from Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Who had appeared unto him twice,

10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after elohim acherim; but he was not shomer over that which Hashem commanded.
