1 Kings 14:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Sodomites, i.e. males, who prostituted their bodies to the filthy lusts of others; of whom See Poole on "Deuteronomy 23:17"; who also did this in the worship and to the honour of their idols as also the women did, Numbers 25:1,2. And this might be one occasion of so great a spreading of idolatry among the lustful Israelites. And, on the other side, God doth frequently punish idolatry with corporeal uncleanness, Romans 1:21,28. See 1 Kings 15:12, 1 Kings 22:46 2 Kings 23:7.

1 Kings 14:24

24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
