1 Kings 14:23

high places We read constantly of -houses" of the high places, and it is to these erections on some lofty hills that the -building" here spoken of applies. See above, 1 Kings 12:31.

images The R.V. renders by pillars, with -obelisks" in the margin. And this appears more correct than A. V. There is nothing in the word itself to denote an image. The root signifies -to set up," and this noun is applied to the stones which Jacob set up (Genesis 28:18; Genesis 31:45; Genesis 35:14), and which Joshua set up (Joshua 4:9) when the people had passed over Jordan. Probably therefore the erections made in Judah were only large stones. The name is given also to the -obelisks" which stood at the entrance of the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis (Jeremiah 43:13).

and groves R.V. Ashêrim. See above on 1 Kings 14:15.
