A:Idols are only images representing gods. The idols are not worshipped, but the gods they represent. The Bible says that Solomon worshipped foreign gods only in later life, but there is no doubt that he would have worshipped the many gods of Israel throughout his entire life. Andrew D. H. Mayes (The World of Ancient Israel: Sociological, Anthropological and Political Perspectives, Sociology and the Old Testament) says that the presentation of Yahweh as the only God of Israel in the pre-monarchic period is a late construction which runs up against great historical difficulties.
