Commentary

And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God,.... Which their idolatry led them to; and indeed he that offends in one point is g uilty of them all, Jam 2:10 . and made them molten images, even two calves; which they set up at Dan and Bethel, in the times of their first king Jeroboam, Kg1 13:28 . and made a grove; as Ahab, another of their kings, did, Kg1 16:33 . and worshipped all the host of heaven: not the angels, sometimes so called, but, besides the sun and moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus: and served Baal; which was service to the sun, as Abarbinel interprets it; this was the god of the Zidonians Ahab worshipped, having married a princess of that people, Kg1 16:31 .
