14. groves . . . cities —The "groves" are the idolatrous symbol of Astarte ( Deuteronomy 16:21 ; 2 Kings 21:7 ). "Cities" being parallel to "groves," must mean cities in or near which such idolatrous groves existed. Compare "city of the house of Baal" ( 2 Kings 10:25 ), that is, a portion of the city sacred to Baal. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
