2 Kings 23:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove. The houses of the sodomites - We have already often met with these קדשים kedeshim or consecrated persons. The word implies all kinds of prostitutes, as well as abusers of themselves with mankind.

Wove hangings for the grove - For Asherah; curtains or tent coverings for the places where the rites of the impure goddess were performed. See at the end of 2 Kings 21:26 (note).
