Contextual Overview

21 Solomon's son Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king of Judah. His mother was Naamah from Ammon. Rehoboam ruled in Jerusalem for seventeen years. (The Lord had chosen that city from all the land of Israel as the place where he would be worshiped.) 22 The people of Judah did what the Lord said was wrong. Their sins made the Lord very angry, even more angry than he had been at their ancestors. 23 The people built stone pillars and places to worship gods and Asherah idols on every high hill and under every green tree. 24 There were even male prostitutes in the land. They acted like the people who had lived in the land before the Israelites. They had done many evil things, and God had taken the land away from them. 25 During the fifth year Rehoboam was king, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. 26 He took the treasures from the Temple of the Lord and the king's palace. He took everything, even the gold shields Solomon had made. 27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to put in their place and gave them to the commanders of the guards for the palace gates. 28 Whenever the king went to the Temple of the Lord , the guards carried the shields. Later, they would put them back in the guardroom. 29 Everything else King Rehoboam did is written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah. 30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam the whole time.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there were also Sodomites in the land, e.] Such as were addicted to unnatural lusts between men and men, which the men of Sodom were guilty of, from whence they had their name: Jarchi interprets the word adultery and some versions render it whoremongers and filthy actions of this nature, both by men and women, usually attended idolatrous practices among the heathens; in their temples and groves such wickednesses were privately perpetrated:

[and] they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel; the Canaanites, of whose uncleannesses, incests, and bestialities, see Leviticus 18:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Sodomites - literally, ” (men) consecrated.” The men in question were in fact “consecrated” to the mother of the gods, the famous “Dea Syra,” whose priests, or rather devotees, they were considered to be. The nature of the ancient idolatries is best understood by recollecting that persons of this degraded class practiced their abominable trade under a religious sanction.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 14:24. There were also sodomites in the land — קדשים kedeshim, consecrated persons; persons who had devoted themselves, in practices of the greatest impurity, to the service of the most impure idols.
