Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(33) Turned again.--Ad vomitum recdierunt (Serarius) (Psalm 106:13; Psalm 106:21).Went a whoring after Baalim.--It was shown again afterwards, in the reign of Ahab, how rapidly unauthorised symbols degenerate into positive idolatry. After all that had occurred it would have been impossible for a Jerubbaal to be a Baal-worshipper, but his little deflection from the appointed ritual soon became a wide divergence from the national faith.Made Baal-berith their god.--Baal-berith means "Lord of the covenant." The Hebrew will bear the meaning given it by some of the versions: "They made a covenant with Baal that he should be their god" (comp. Joshua 24:25, Heb.), but the E.V. is probably correct. Bochart vainly tries to represent Baal-berith as some female deity of Berytus.
