Ezekiel 43:9

Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

Now let them put away ... the carcasses of their kings. It is supposed that some of their idolatrous kings were buried within the bounds of Solomon's temple (Henderson). Rather, 'the carcasses of their idols,' here called "kings," as having had lordship over them in past times (); but henceforth Yahweh, alone their rightful lord, shall be their King, and the idols that had been their "kings" would appear but as "carcasses." Hence, these defunct kings are associated with the "high places" in (Fairbairn): ; , confirm this. Manasses had built altars in the courts of the temple to the host of heaven ( ; ).

I will dwell in the midst of them forever - ().
