1 Kings 3:3
"And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Solomon loved the Lord,.... The worship of the Lord, as the Targum: and which he showed by walking in the statutes of David his father; in which his father

walked, which were the statutes of the Lord, or which he exhorted him to walk in, and were the same, Kg1 2:3 ; only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places; besides that at Gibeon, which it seems David did not.
