Commentary on 1 Kings 16:13

Theological / Devotional

Their vanities. That is, their worship of idols (see Deut. 32:16, 21; 1 Sam. 12:10, 21; Jer. 8:19). Few things are quite so foolish as for men to make gods for themselves with their own hands and then bow before them in worship. The folly of such a course is repeatedly made plain in the Word of God (Ps. 115:4-8; Isa. 41:21-29; 44:9-20; Jer. 10:3-8).
