1 Re 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.

1 Re 11:8 In-Context

6 Così Salomone fece ciò ch’è male agli occhi dell’Eterno e non seguì pienamente l’Eterno, come avea fatto Davide suo padre.
7 Fu allora che Salomone costruì, sul monte che sta dirimpetto a Gerusalemme, un alto luogo per Kemosh, l’abominazione di Moab, e per Molec, l’abominazione dei figliuoli di Ammon.
8 E fece così per tutte le sue donne straniere, le quali offrivano profumi e sacrifizi ai loro dèi.
9 E l’Eterno s’indignò contro Salomone, perché il cuor di lui s’era alienato dall’Eterno, dall’Iddio d’Israele, che gli era apparito due volte,
10 e gli aveva ordinato, a questo proposito, di non andar dietro ad altri dèi; ma egli non osservò l’ordine datogli dall’Eterno.
