Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 16:17

16:15 Gibbethon - Which had been besieged before, but, it seems, wasthen relieved, or afterwards recovered by the Philistines; taking theadvantage of the disorders and contentions which were among their enemies.

16:19 For his sins - This befell him for his sins.In walking, &c. - This he might do, either before his reign, in the wholecourse of his life, which is justly charged upon him, because of hisimpenitency: or during his short reign; in which, he had time enough topublish his intentions, about the worship of the calves; or to sacrificeto them, for his good success.
