SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:24
y hubo también sodomitas en la tierra, e hicieron conforme a todas las abominaciones de los gentiles que el SEÑOR había echado delante de los hijos de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 14:24
Verse 24. There were also sodomites in the land] µydq kedeshim, consecrated persons; persons who had devoted themselves, in practices of the greatest impurity, to the service of the most impure idols.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And there were also Sodomites in the land , &e.] Such as were addicted to unnatural lusts between men and men, which the men of Sodom were guilty of, from whence they had their name: Jarchi interprets the word adultery and some versions render it whoremongers; and filthy actions of this nature, both by men and women, usually attended idolatrous practices among the heathens; in their temples and groves such wickednesses were privately perpetrated: [and] they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel ; the Canaanites, of whose uncleannesses, incests, and bestialities, (see Leviticus 18:1-30).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-31 - Here is no good said of Rehoboam, and much said to the disadvantage of his subjects. The abounding of the worst crimes, of the worst of the heathen, in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen for his temple an his worship, shows that nothing can mend the hearts of fallen men but the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit. On this alone may we depend for this let us daily pray, in behalf of ourselves and all around us The splendour of their temple, the pomp of their priesthood, and all the advantages with which their religion was attended, could no prevail to keep them close to it; nothing less than the pouring out the Spirit will keep God's Israel in their allegiance to him. Sin exposes makes poor, and weakens any people. Shishak, king of Egypt, came an took away the treasures. Sin makes the gold become dim, changes the most fine gold, and turns it into brass __________________________________________________________________
