1 Kings11:9

9 ¶ And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel , which had appeared unto him twice,

From the express Command, and from the Worship of God; not that he wholly neglected God, but because God esteems all the Worship of Idols (though it be not exclusive of, but conjoyned with his own Worship) to be a forsaking of, and departing from God, and oft-times so calls it.

To wit, in an extraordinary, and most Gracious, and obliging manner.
