1 Reyes 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 Reyes 11:8 In-Context

6 E hizo Salom贸n lo malo en los ojos de Jehov谩, y no fu茅 cumplidamente tras Jehov谩 como David su padre.
7 Entonces edific贸 Salom贸n un alto 谩 Ch锚mos, abominaci贸n de Moab, en el monte que est谩 enfrente de Jerusalem; y 谩 Moloch, abominaci贸n de los hijos de Amm贸n.
8 Y as铆 hizo para todas sus mujeres extranjeras, las cuales quemaban perfumes, y sacrificaban 谩 sus dioses.
9 Y enoj贸se Jehov谩 contra Salom贸n, por cuanto estaba su coraz贸n desviado de Jehov谩 Dios de Israel, que le hab铆a aparecido dos veces,
10 Y le hab铆a mandado acerca de esto, que no siguiese dioses ajenos: mas 茅l no guard贸 lo que le mand贸 Jehov谩.
