On the southern slopes of Olivet, opposite the beautiful temple of Jehovah on Mount Moriah, were the shrines and 405 images that had been placed there by Solomon to please his idolatrous wives. See 1 Kings 11:6-8. For upwards of three centuries the great, misshapen images had stood on the "Mount of Offense," mute witnesses to the apostasy of Israel's wisest king. These, too, were removed and destroyed by Josiah. | |

På Oliebjergets sydside, over for Herrens smukke tempel på Morija bjerg, fandtes de afgudstempler og gudebilleder, som Salomo havde ladet opføre for at tilfredsstille sine hedenske hustruer. Se 1Kong. 11,6-8. De store, uhyggelige billeder havde stået på Forargelsens bjerg i henved tre hundrede år som tavse vidner om Israels viseste konges frafald. Josias lod også disse fjerne og ødelægge. |
