Clarke's 1-kings 16:13 Bible Commentary
For all the sins of Baasha - We see why it was that God permitted such judgments to fall on this family. Baasha was a grievous offender, and so also was his son Elah; and they caused the people to sin; and they provoked God to anger by their idolatries.
Barnes's 1-kings 16:13 Bible Commentary
Their vanities - The "calves." The Hebrews call an idol by terms signifying "emptiness," "vapor," or "nothingness." (Compare marginal references.)
Wesley's 1-kings 16:13 Bible Commentary
16:13 Vanities - Idols called vanities; because they are but imaginary deities, and mere nothings; having no power to do either good or hurt.
