Context of 1 Kings 22:46

44Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel. 45As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa. 47And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king. 48Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.

Commentaries on 1 Kings 22:46

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 46The 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.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 46See the marginal references notes.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 41-50Verses 41-50 Jehoshaphat's reign appears to have been one of the best, both as to piety and prosperity. He pleased God, and God blessed him.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 46Jehoshaphat deserves credit for getting rid of religious prostitutes. His father, Asa, had banned them (1 Kings 15:12), but they still existed. These prostitutes were likely based at pagan shrines that Asa did not remove (1 Kings 15:14).Read the comment
