II Kings 23:13 (2021) – And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. [Commentators agree that this is the Mount of Olives. The original Hebrew name for the Mount of Olives is from a word meaning "to anoint" (olive oil is used for anointing), but a slight alteration of the letters renders it "corruption" here for the idolatrous practices which occurred there. In I Kings 11:7 we read: Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon, which is another piece of evidence that this is the Mount of Olives. ]
