"And Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not wholly follow the LORD, as David his father had done." — The *theological condemnation*: Solomon *did evil in the sight of the LORD* (*va-ya'as ha-ra be-'eney YHVH*), failing to *wholly follow* (*lo malae 'acharey YHVH*) as David did. The *comparison to David* is *repeated and emphasized*—David is the *standard of faithfulness*.
