1 Kings3:3
Previous VerseTranslation
SOLOMON loved YHVH (read Adonai), walking in the statutes of his father DAVID, except that he killed sacrificial animals and offered incense at the high places.”
Paraphrase
THE PEACEFUL MAN was faithful and obedient to THE ETERNAL AND PERSONAL GOD; he lived according to all the religious principles his father, THE ONE WHO WAS LOVED, had passed down to him, with one exception, he offered animal sacrifices and incense offerings to God in places he did not have God’s permission to offer them.
