1 Kings 11:33 -
Because that they [The LXX . has the singular throughout, and so have all the translations, except the Chaldee. But the plural is to be retained, the import being that Solomon was not alone in his idolatrous leanings; or it may turn our thoughts to the actual idolaters—his wives—whose guilt he shared. The singular looks as if an alteration had been made to bring the words into harmony with the context, and especially with the concluding words of this verse, "David his father."] have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians [ צדנין a Chaldee form. But many MSS . read צדנים ] , Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom [the LXX . has "their king the abomination," etc; καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν . See note on 1 Kings 11:5 ], 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.
