John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 9:6

"But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;" — 1 Kings 9:6 (ASV)

But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your
children
From my worship, as the Targum; either Solomon or his successors, or the people of Israel and their posterity; should they turn their backs on God and his worship, meaning not in a single instance, or in some small degree; but as in the original, "if in turning ye turn" ^F5 , that is, utterly, and entirely, or wholly turn from him and his worship to other gods, as follows:

and will not keep my commandments and my statutes, which I have set
before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them :
neglecting the will and worship of God, go into idolatrous practices, as Solomon himself did.
