1 Kings 14:9
14:9 You have sinned more than all who came before you. You went and angered me by making other gods, formed out of metal; you have completely disregarded me. 1
1 Kings 14:23-24
14:23 They even built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
14:24 There were also male cultic prostitutes 2 in the land. They committed the same horrible sins as the nations 3 that the Lord had driven out from before the Israelites.
1 tn Heb “you went and you made for yourself other gods, metal [ones], angering me, and you threw me behind your back.”
2 tc The Old Greek translation has “a conspiracy” rather than “male cultic prostitutes.”
3 tn Heb “they did according to all the abominable acts of the nations.”
