1 Kings 3:3 -

And Solomon loved the Lord [thus keeping the first and great commandment, the "Shema Israel" ( Deuteronomy 6:5 ; cf. Deuteronomy 30:16 ; Matthew 22:1-46 :87; Luke 10:27 ], walking in the statutes of David his father [ i.e; those which David had kept ( Luke 10:6 , Luke 10:14 ) and commanded him to keep ( Luke 2:4 )]: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. [These words clearly show that the worship of the high places, although condoned, and indeed accepted, by God ( Luke 10:5 ) was not strictly lawful and right. It was an ignorance that God winked at. The historian, remembering what the worship of the high places became, notices this as an imperfection of Solomon's early reign, though he does not say that such worship was sinful.
