1 Kings 15:13
_ _ also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen — The sultana, or queen dowager, was not necessarily the king’s natural mother (see 1 Kings 2:19), nor was Maachah. Her title, and the privileges connected with that honor and dignity which gave her precedency among the ladies of the royal family, and great influence in the kingdom, were taken away. She was degraded for her idolatry.
_ _ because she had made an idol in a grove — A very obscene figure, and the grove was devoted to the grossest licentiousness. His plans of religious reformation, however, were not completely carried through, “the high places were not removed” (see 1 Kings 3:2). The suppression of this private worship on natural or artificial hills, though a forbidden service after the temple had been declared the exclusive place of worship, the most pious king’s laws were not able to accomplish. |
1 Kings 15:13
He removed — He took from her either the name and authority of queen regent, which she, having been Rehoboam's wife, and Abijam's mother, took to herself during Asa's minority; or, the dignity of the queen mother, and those guards, or instruments of power, which she had enjoyed and misemployed. An Idol — Heb. a terror, or horror, that is, an horrible idol; which it may be so called, because it was of a more terrible shape than ordinary, and not to be seen without horror. Kidron — That when it was burnt to powder, it might be thrown into the water, and be unfit for any use. |
1 Kings 15:13
And also Maachah his mother, even her he (d) removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
(d) Neither kindred nor authority should be regarded when they blaspheme God and become idolaters, but must be punished. |
