1 Kings 3:3

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem. ²The people, however, were still sacrificing on the high places because a house for the Name of the LORD had not yet been built. ³And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David-except that he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.⁴Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the great high place. Solomon 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.
