Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. Now let them put away their whoredom] Their idolatry.
And the carcasses of their kings] It appears that God was displeased with their bringing their kings so near his temple. David was buried in the city of David, which was on Mount Zion, near to the temple; and so were almost all the kings of Judah; but God requires that the place of his temple and its vicinity shall be kept unpolluted; and when they put away all kinds of defilement, then will he dwell among them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- After the prophet had observed the courts, he was brought to the temple. If we attend to instructions in the plainer parts of religion and profit by them, we shall be led further into an acquaintance with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven _________________________________________________
