Patrick/Lowth/Whitby/Lowman Commentary
Did evil in the sight of the Lord: By this forgetfulness of God and of his works, and by their familiarity with the people of Canaan, they soon learned to do as they did, and that openly and publicly, not fearing the dreadful sentence of God against such evil doers, who were most odious to him, whatsoever excuses men make for them. So that phrase, “in the sight of the Lord”, may be interpreted.
Served Baalim: The gods of the nations whose land they possessed, who were called by this general name, which signifies lords. For among the heathen, as St. Paul observes, there were gods many and lords many. In Hebrew, he would have said many Baalim, who were their defied great men, as Mr. Mede hath shown (p. 776, of his works). For Baal, (in Chaldee, Bel) the king of Babel next after Nimrod, was the first that was defied, and reputed a god after his death, from whence they called all other demons by the name of Baalim; as from the first Roman emperor who was called Caesar, all that followed him were styled Caesars. Baalim, therefore, being the general name of the gods of Syria, Palestine, and the neighboring countries, there were as many Baals as there were nations: for example, Baal of the Sidonians, and Baal of the Amorites, of the Moabites, and Ammonites, and the rest of the people thereabouts, who had their Baalim (see also Selden, De Diis Syris, Syntagm 2. cap. 1).
