Or of a strange people, of the Zidonians, Ammonites, and Moabites, which had remained from the times of Solomon, and which he built for his wives, ( 1 Kings 11:7 1 Kings 11:8 )

built for idols; for as for those on which the true God was worshipped, they were not removed in his days, ( 1 Kings 15:14 )

in the midst of which they stood.
