1 Reyes 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:5

And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
&c.] Enticed by the Zidonian women, or woman, he had, ( 1 Kings 11:1 ) . According to the Phoenician histories F9, Solomon married a daughter of Hiram, king of Tyre and Zidon; so Clemens of Alexandria says F11, that Hiram gave his daughter to Solomon; Ashtoreth is Astarte, the same with the Venus of the Greeks, so Suidas F12; and Lucian F13 expressly says, the Sidonians had a temple, said by them to belong to Astarte, which he takes to be the moon; and both Venus and Juno signify the same planet; (See Gill on Judges 2:13)

and after Milcom the abomination of the Amnonites;
the same with Molech, ( 1 Kings 11:7 ) . (See Gill on Leviticus 18:21). (See Gill on Amos 1:13). After this he was drawn by his Ammonitish wife, or wives, ( 1 Kings 11:1 ) , though the Jewish writers think he did not worship these idols, but suffered his wives to do it, and connived at it, which was his sin; so Ben Gersom and Abarbinel.

1 Reyes 11:5 In-Context

3 Y tuvo setecientas mujeres que eran princesas y trescientas concubinas, y sus mujeres desviaron su coraz贸n.
4 Pues sucedi贸 que cuando Salom贸n era ya viejo, sus mujeres desviaron su coraz贸n tras otros dioses, y su coraz贸n no estuvo dedicado por entero al SE脩OR su Dios, como hab铆a estado el coraz贸n de David su padre.
5 Porque Salom贸n sigui贸 a Astoret, diosa de los sidonios, y a Milcom, 铆dolo abominable de los amonitas.
6 Salom贸n hizo lo malo a los ojos del SE脩OR, y no sigui贸 plenamente al SE脩OR, como le hab铆a seguido su padre David.
7 Entonces Salom贸n edific贸 un lugar alto a Quemos, 铆dolo abominable de Moab, en el monte que est谩 frente a Jerusal茅n, y a Moloc, 铆dolo abominable de los hijos de Am贸n.
