1 Kings 14:24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

There were also sodomites in the land The kind of wickedness here referred to often attended idolatry, 1 Kings 15:12; 2 Kings 23:7; for among the heathen the most filthy things were practised in these shady, dark places, their groves: and such wickedness, it appears from the passages now quoted, existed at this time among the Israelites, who, out of devotion to some false god or other, prostituted their bodies, contrary to nature, to be abused in honour of those gods, in direct opposition to the law, Deuteronomy 23:17. They did according to all the abominations of the nations, &c. They dishonoured God by the sin of idolatry, and therefore God left them to dishonour their own bodies in this abominable manner.
