1 Kings 22:46

44 Also ^aJehoshaphat made ^bpeace with the king of Israel.

45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written ^ain the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

46 ^aAnd the rest of the¹ perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land.

47 ^aThere was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.

48 ^aJehoshaphat ^bmade merchant ships to go to ^cOphir for gold; ^dbut they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at ^eEzion Geber.

The remnant of the sodomites - 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.
