1 Kings11:2
2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them , neither shall they come in unto you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods : Solomon clave unto these in love.
i. e. Marry them. See on Gen. 6. 4.
Possibly Solomon might think himself too Wise to be drawn to Idolatry by his Wives, and therefore to be unconcerned in the reason of the Law, and consequently free in some measure from the obligation of the Law; and so, like our first Parents, trusting his own fancy more than Gods Word, he fell dreadfully.
