2 Kings 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:27

And they broke down the temple of Baal
Which some take to be Belus, others Saturn, others the sun, which seems most probable:

and broke down the house of Baal;
his temple, demolished it:

and made it a draught house until this day;
a common sewer, a jakes; a fit place for dunghill gods to be thrown into, and an idol temple to be turned into.
