Contextual Overview
1 Shlomo formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying Pharaoh's daughter. He brought her into the City of David, [where she lived] until he had finished building his own palace, the house of Adonai and the wall around Yerushalayim. 2 The people, however, were still sacrificing on the high places, because no house had yet been built for the name of Adonai . 3 Shlomo loved Adonai , living according to the regulations set forth by David his father; nevertheless, he sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 4 One time the king went to Giv‘on to sacrifice there, because that was the main high place. Shlomo offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Solomon loved the Lord,.... The worship of the Lord, as the Targum: and which he showed by
walking in the statutes of David his father; in which his father walked, which were the statutes of the Lord, or which he exhorted him to walk in, and were the same, 1 Kings 2:3;
only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places; besides that at Gibeon, which it seems David did not.
