1 Reyes 11:4

4 Cuando Salomón ya era anciano, ellas le desviaron el corazón para que rindiera culto a otros dioses en lugar de ser totalmente fiel al Señor
su Dios, como lo había sido David su padre.

1 Reyes 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:4

And it came to pass, when Solomon was old
Toward the latter end of his reign, when he might be near sixty years of age; for Rehoboam his son and successor was forty one when he began to reign, ( 1 Kings 14:21 ) which is observed either as an aggravation of the sin of Solomon, that in his old age, when by long experience he might have been thought to be still wiser, and less lustful: and yet

that his wives turned away his heart after other gods;
or as pointing at the advantage his wives took of his age:

and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart
of David his father;
who, though guilty of many sins, never inclined to idolatry; his heart was always right in that point, and sincere in his worship, see ( Psalms 18:20-24 ) .

1 Reyes 11:4 In-Context

2 El Señor
había instruido claramente a los israelitas cuando les dijo: «No se casen con ellas, porque les desviarán el corazón hacia sus dioses». Sin embargo, Salomón se empecinó en amarlas.

3 En total, tuvo setecientas esposas de cuna real y trescientas concubinas. En efecto, ellas apartaron su corazón del Señor
.

4 Cuando Salomón ya era anciano, ellas le desviaron el corazón para que rindiera culto a otros dioses en lugar de ser totalmente fiel al Señor
su Dios, como lo había sido David su padre.

5 Salomón rindió culto a Astoret, la diosa de los sidonios, y a Moloc,
el detestable dios de los amonitas.

6 De ese modo, Salomón hizo lo malo a los ojos del Señor
; se negó a seguir al Señor
en forma total y absoluta, como lo había hecho David, su padre.
