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.
