Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. The hill that is before Jerusalem] This was the Mount of Olives.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - There is not a more melancholy and astonishing instance of huma depravity in the sacred Scriptures, than that here recorded. Solomo became a public worshipper of abominable idols! Probably he by degree gave way to pride and luxury, and thus lost his relish for true wisdom Nothing forms in itself a security against the deceitfulness an depravity of the human heart. Nor will old age cure the heart of an evil propensity. If our sinful passions are not crucified and mortifie by the grace of God, they never will die of themselves, but will las even when opportunities to gratify them are taken away. Let him tha thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall. We see how weak we are of ourselves, without the grace of God; let us therefore live in constan dependence on that grace. Let us watch and be sober: ours is dangerous warfare, and in an enemy's country, while our worst foes ar the traitors in our own hearts. (1Ki 11:9-13)
