Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 1:7

7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces , and all the hires thereof shall be burnt with the fire , and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate : for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot , and they shall return to the hire of an harlot .

Erected in honour to the Idols they worshipt, which usually were the Images or similitudes resembling their Idols, their Gods of silver, gold, or stone and brass, or wood.

Pull'd out of their Chappels, Shrines, or Repositories by the conquering Assyrians who would, as was customary with such Nations▪ deal with the Gods as with Enemies conquered, trample upon them, and use them most contemptibly, and when they break into pieces Idols of rich materials, 'twas to carry it away with them as their booty, others were broken in contempt of them.

Or rewards, or gifts which Idolaters thought their Idols gave them as Hos. 2.5. or the rich gifts given for the honour and service of the Idols by deceived Idolaters; or all the wealth Israel got by leagues with Idolaters

When their Cities or Temples are burnt, as no doubt many were burnt by the Assyrian before he could reduce them to obedience, in which conflagrations many rich donatives belonging to Idols were consumed to ashes, or melted down.

Thus shall the Idols of Samaria be made desolate, i. e. their Temples burnt, their Images either beaten in pieces in contempt, or to be carryed away (if the materials they were made of were worth the carriage,) however they shall neither remain, nor be worshipt any more in Israel or Samaria, but be carryed away Captives with their Captive Worshippers.

The Kingdom of the Ten Tribes or Samaria.

Their Wealth, or the rich Presents made to their Idols, or both.

As Harlots get rich gifts of their Lovers; so did this deceived people think, and say, that their Idols gave them the wealth they had; or else as impudent Adulteresses that hire lew'd men to come into them; so this hire was that these blind Idolaters, (like shameless Adultresses,) gave to their Idols.

These rich Presents

shall be either turn'd by the Assyrians to the service and honour of their Idols, presented as gifts in acknowledgment of their greatness, and prosperity to be the blessings their Idols have given to them, as Hos. 10.6. or else thus, as what is got by Harlots, brings shame, and a curse with it, and never continues long, but is as basely wasted as 'twas gotten, so shall it be with all the ill gotten Goods of these Samaritan Idolaters, and all their wealth.
