Notes
The Moabite god Chemosh is mentioned on the Mesha Stela (Moabite Stone), which describes the conflict between Moab and Israel (see 2 Kings 3).
he did not follow the LORD completely: David committed a serious sin, but he truly repented when God's prophet confronted him (2 Samuel 11:1–12:23; Psalm 51:1–4). However, Solomon ignored God's warnings (1 Kings 3:14; 6:12–13; 9:4–9) and did not learn from Israel's history. Instead, he repeated their sins.
