2 Kings 17:30
_ _ Succoth-benoth — that is, the “tents” or “booths of the daughters,” similar to those in which the Babylonian damsels celebrated impure rites (Amos 2:8).
_ _ Nergal — The Jewish writers say this idol was in the form of a cock, and it is certain that a cock is often associated with a priest on the Assyrian monuments [Layard]. But modern critics, looking to the astrological character of Assyrian idolatry, generally consider Nergal as the planet Mars, the god of war. The name of this idol formed part of the appellation of two of the king of Babylon’s princes (Jeremiah 39:3).
_ _ Ashima — an idol under the form of an entirely bald he-goat. |
2 Kings 17:30
And the men of Babylon made (q) Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
(q) Meaning that every country served the idol that was most esteemed in the place to which they came. |
- Babylon:
2 Kings 17:24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
|
- Succoth benoth:
- Succoth benoth, literally "the tents of the daughters."
|
- Cuth:
- Cuth is probably the Cush watered by the Gihon, or Araxes, now Aras (
Genesis 2:13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
), the ancient country of the Scythians, where we meet with the Quitians, Coethians, or Coete, and Cytheans, and the cities of Cotatis, Cetemane, Cythanum, Cyta, Cethena, etc.
|
- Nergal:
- Supposed to denote the solar orb; the emblem of which, according to the Rabbins, was a cock.
