Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 23:13

13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption which Solomon the king of Israel had builed for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

i. e. The Mount of Olives, 1 King. 11. 7. here called the mount of corruption, for the gross Idolatry there practised, which is oft expressed by the name of corruption. See Exod. 32. 7. Deut. 32. 5. In the Hebrew is an elegant allusion between M[illegible: 1+ letters]seah, anointing, and Mosh[illegible: 1+ letters]ith, corruption, as there is between Bethel and Bethaven, Hos. 4. 15.

Not the same individual Altars; which doubtless either Solomen upon his repentance, or some other of Iosiah's Godly predecessors had taken away long before this time; but other Altars built by Man[illegible: 1+ letters]sseh or Amon, which because erected by Solomon's example, and for the same use, and in the same place, are called by his name; this brand being left by the Holy Ghost upon his name and memory, as a just punishment of that abominable practise, and a mean to deter others fro[illegible: 1+ letters] the like.

Of which and the rest see on 1 King. 11. 5▪ 6, 7.

i. e. The Idol, so called, because it was abominable, and made them abominable to God.
