2 Reyes 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:7

And he brake down the houses of the Sodomites that were by the
house of the Lord
Near the temple were apartments, in which men, the worshippers of idols, prostituted their bodies to each other; committing that unnatural sin with one another, which has its name from Sodom, and from which those are so called, and which sin they committed in honour of the idols they worshipped; to such vile affections were they, in a judicial manner, delivered up, because of their idolatry; see ( Romans 1:27 Romans 1:28 ) the word signifies "Holy Ones", they being called so by an antiphrasis; though Abarbinel thinks these were the idolatrous priests, whom the worshippers of idols reckoned "holy", and so built houses for them near the temple to lodge in; the Targum is,

``and broke down the houses of things consecrated to idols,''

where they were put; and Theodoret on the place observes, that by an homonymy, they called the demons or idols themselves "Holy Ones"; and it is not likely, indeed, that the Sodomites should be

where the women wove hangings for the grove;
that is, for Astarte, as the same writer observes: or "curtains", as the Jewish writers generally interpret it, in which either the idol was enclosed, or these made apartments for the idolaters to commit their abominable wickedness privately; though the Syriac and Arabic versions are,

``they wove garments for the idols that were there;''

and so the Septuagint version, of the Complutensian edition; that is, they wove garments for the goddess Astarte, which they dressed her with: the word signifies "houses", and may mean the shrines of the idol made of woven work.

2 Reyes 23:7 In-Context

5 Elimin贸 a los sacerdotes id贸latras, que hab铆an sido nombrados por los reyes anteriores de Jud谩, porque ofrec铆an sacrificios en los santuarios paganos por todo el territorio de Jud谩 y hasta en los alrededores de Jerusal茅n. Tambi茅n ofrec铆an sacrificios a Baal, al sol, a la luna, a las constelaciones y a todos los poderes de los cielos.
6 El rey quit贸 del templo del Se帽or
el poste dedicado a la diosa Asera y lo llev贸 fuera de Jerusal茅n, al valle de Cedr贸n, donde lo quem贸. Luego moli贸 las cenizas del poste hasta hacerlas polvo y tir贸 el polvo sobre las tumbas de la gente.
7 Tambi茅n derrib贸 las habitaciones de los prostitutos y las prostitutas de los santuarios paganos ubicados dentro del templo del Se帽or
, donde las mujeres tej铆an mantos para el poste dedicado a la diosa Asera.
8 Jos铆as traslad贸 a Jerusal茅n a todos los sacerdotes que viv铆an en otras ciudades de Jud谩. Tambi茅n profan贸 los santuarios paganos donde hab铆an ofrecido sacrificios, desde Geba hasta Beerseba. Destruy贸 los santuarios que estaban a la entrada de la puerta de Josu茅, gobernador de Jerusal茅n. Esta puerta estaba situada a la izquierda de la puerta principal de la entrada a la ciudad.
9 A los sacerdotes que hab铆an servido en los santuarios paganos no se les permiti贸
servir en el altar del Se帽or
, en Jerusal茅n, pero se les dio permiso para comer pan sin levadura con los otros sacerdotes.
