The LXX. and other versions however have the verb in the singular.<\/p>\n and<\/em> to keep my statutes<\/em> ] The verb which in the previous clause is rendered ‘to do’, can in Hebrew be joined with all the nouns that follow (cf. Deu 6:24<\/span>; Deu 16:12<\/span>; Deu 17:19<\/span>; 1Ch 22:13<\/span>). The English however requires a different verb with ‘statutes.’ Hence ‘to keep’ is inserted in italics, though the Hebrew construction is quite complete.<\/p>\n They have forsaken me, <\/B>i.e. the king, and his concubines, and people, who easily followed his example, but were not at all excused by it. <\/P> <\/p>\n Because that they have forsaken me<\/strong>,…. 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:<\/p>\n and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon<\/strong>; of which deities, [See comments on 1Ki 11:5]<\/span> [See comments on 1Ki 11:7]<\/span>.<\/p>\n 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<\/strong>; 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.<\/p>\n “<\/strong> Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and they have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as did David his father.” <\/p>\n The reason for this astounding prophecy is now given. It was because Solomon and his wives (and\/or his people) had forsaken YHWH, and had worshipped foreign gods in Jerusalem, the city which had been set apart for YHWH by David when he introduced the Ark into it, with the result that YHWH had ‘chosen it’. Furthermore they had also not walked in His ways to do what was right in His eyes and to keep His statutes and ordinances, in the way that David, Solomon’s father had. Thus what was to happen was due to a combination of idolatry and of disobedience to His moral and religious requirements (compare Isa 1:11-18<\/span>). The language of the second half of the verse is similar to that in 1Ki 3:14 ; 1Ki 9:4<\/span>, although ‘to do what is right in my eyes’ is new (although see Deu 13:18<\/span>). As we have seen earlier the ideas are a mixture of Mosaic and Davidic rather than simply Deuteronomic (in whatever sense) ideas. They look back on the whole of Israel’s history. The gods described are those mentioned in 1Ki 11:5<\/span>; 1Ki 11:7<\/span>. <\/p>\n 1Ki 11:33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 33.
