1 Kings 22:46 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. The remnant of the sodomites - הקדש of the consecrated persons; or it may rather apply here to the system of pollution, effeminacy, and debauch. He destroyed the thing itself; the abominations of Priapus, and the rites of Venus, Baal, and Ashtaroth. No more of that impure worship was to be found in Judea.
