Commentary

Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Mesh,.... Of this idol see Gill on Jer 48:7 , an high place for which he ordered to be built, or at least suffered it to be built, at the instigation of his Moabitish woman or women, Kg1 11:1 , this was built in the hill that is before Jerusalem; on the mount of Olives, as Jarchi, called from hence afterwards the mount of corruption, Kg2 23:15 and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon, Kg1 11:5 .
