Verse 33
Because that they have forsaken me ,.... My worship, as the Targum; both Solomon and the children of Israel following his example; which is not to be wondered at, considering how prone they always were to idolatry:
and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon ; of which deities; see Gill on 1 Kings 11:5 , 1 Kings 11:7 .
and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father ; the several laws of God relating to religious worship especially, which David was a strict observer of; and therefore Solomon, having such a pattern before him, was the more blameworthy.
