Context Reading
1Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into David’s city until he had finished building his own house, Yahweh’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem. 2However, the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was not yet a house built for Yahweh’s name. 3Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
