1 Kings 11:4
_ _ when Solomon was old — He could not have been more than fifty.
_ _ his wives turned away his heart after other gods — Some, considering the lapse of Solomon into idolatry as a thing incredible, regard him as merely humoring his wives in the practice of their superstition; and, in countenancing their respective rites by his presence, as giving only an outward homage — a sensible worship, in which neither his understanding nor his heart was engaged. The apology only makes matters worse, as it implies an adding of hypocrisy and contempt of God to an open breach of His law. There seems no possibility of explaining the language of the sacred historian, but as intimating that Solomon became an actual and open idolater, worshipping images of wood or stone in sight of the very temple which, in early life, he had erected to the true God. Hence that part of Olivet was called the high place of Tophet (Jeremiah 7:30-34), and the hill is still known as the Mount of Offense, of the Mount of Corruption (2 Kings 23:13). |
1 Kings 11:4
Was old — As having now reigned nigh thirty years. When it might have been expected that experience would have made him wiser: then God permitted him to fall so shamefully, that he might be to all succeeding generations an example of the folly, and weakness of the wisest and the best men, when left to themselves. Turned his heart — Not that they changed his mind about the true God, and idols, which is not credible; but they obtained from him a publick indulgence for their worship, and possibly persuaded him to join with them in the outward act of idol — worship; or, at least, in their feasts upon their sacrifices, which was a participation of their idolatry. |
1 Kings 11:4
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not (c) perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.
