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 Tuvo setecientas esposas que eran princesas, y trescientas concubinas; todas estas mujeres hicieron que se pervirtiera su coraz贸n.
4 En efecto, cuando Salom贸n lleg贸 a viejo, sus mujeres le pervirtieron el coraz贸n de modo que 茅l sigui贸 a otros dioses, y no siempre fue fiel al SE脩OR su Dios como lo hab铆a sido su padre David.
5 Por el contrario, Salom贸n sigui贸 a Astart茅, diosa de los sidonios, y a Moloc, el detestable dios de los amonitas.
6 As铆 que Salom贸n hizo lo que ofende al SE脩OR y no permaneci贸 fiel a 茅l como su padre David.
7 Fue en esa 茅poca cuando, en una monta帽a al este de Jerusal茅n, Salom贸n edific贸 un altar pagano para Quem贸s, el detestable dios de Moab, y otro para Moloc, el despreciable dios de los amonitas.
