"So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And likewise did he for all his strange wives,.... That is, built high places for their idols, or suffered them to be built; for when he had done it for
one, he could not refuse it to another, without greatly disobliging them; even for as many of them, which burnt incense, and sacrificed unto their gods; the gods of the countries from whence they came, and in the worship of which they had been brought up: this shows that the best and wisest of men, when left to themselves, may do the worst and most foolish of all things; as nothing can be more so than the worship of such wretched deities.
