For he took away the altars of the strange gods,.... Or of a strange people, of the Zidonians, Ammonites, a nd Moabites, which had remained from the times of Solomon, and which he built for his wives, Kg1 11:7 . and the high places; built for idols; for as for those on which the true God was worshipped, they were not removed in his days, Kg1 15:14 . and brake down the images: or statues, or pillars, erected to the honour of idols, and on which the images of them were placed: and cut down the groves; in the midst of which they stood.
