SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:6
E hizo Salomón lo malo en los ojos del SEÑOR, y no fue cumplidamente tras el SEÑOR como David su padre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord , etc.] As idolatry is, nothing more provoking to him: and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father ; for though he did not relinquish the worship of the true God, and the service of the temple, yet inasmuch as he worshipped other gods besides, or connived at the worship of them, he did not wholly, and constantly, and solely serve the Lord, as his father did. Ver. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Mesh , etc.] Of this idol, (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 48:7”), an high place for which he ordered to be built, or at least suffered it to be built, at the instigation of his Moabitish woman or women, ( 1 Kings 11:1), this was built in the hill that is before Jerusalem; on the mount of Olives, as Jarchi, called from hence afterwards the mount of corruption, ( 2 Kings 23:15) and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon, ( 1 Kings 11:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - There is not a more melancholy and astonishing instance of huma depravity in the sacred Scriptures, than that here recorded. Solomo became a public worshipper of abominable idols! Probably he by degree gave way to pride and luxury, and thus lost his relish for true wisdom Nothing forms in itself a security against the deceitfulness an depravity of the human heart. Nor will old age cure the heart of an evil propensity. If our sinful passions are not crucified and mortifie by the grace of God, they never will die of themselves, but will las even when opportunities to gratify them are taken away. Let him tha thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall. We see how weak we are of ourselves, without the grace of God; let us therefore live in constan dependence on that grace. Let us watch and be sober: ours is dangerous warfare, and in an enemy's country, while our worst foes ar the traitors in our own hearts. (1Ki 11:9-13)
