Contextual Overview
7 And He said to me, Son of man, the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, there where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever, even the house of Israel shall not defile My holy name any more, they nor their kings, bytheir fornication, nor by the corpses of their kings in their high places. 8 In their setting of their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, and the wall between Me and them, even they have defiled My holy name by their abominations thatthey have done. And I consumed them in Myanger. 9 Now let them put away their fornication and the corpses of their kings from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever. 10 You, son of man, declare to the house of Israel, the temple house, and they will blush from their iniquities. And let them measure its size. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, the form of the house, and its arrangement, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, make them known to them.And write them in their sight, so that they may observe all its form, and all its statutes, and do them. 12 This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain is all its border, all around, being most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now let them put away their whoredom,.... Idolatry, superstition, and will worship, with which the corrupt church of Rome abounds; and whatever appearance thereof is in the reformed churches:
and the carcasses of their kings far from me; their idols;
:-,
and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever; now though the Jews were never guilty of idolatry after their return from the Babylonish captivity, nor even to this day; yet the Lord has departed from them, and left them to blindness and stupidity, they having rejected the Messiah he sent unto them; which shows that this passage refers not to those times, but to future times; when the whole Israel of God shall be cleared of all corruptions in doctrine and worship, and the Lord will take up his abode with them, and no more depart from them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 43:9. Now let them put away their whoredom — Their idolatry.
And the carcasses of their kings — It appears that God was displeased with their bringing their kings so near his temple. David was buried in the city of David, which was on Mount Zion, near to the temple; and so were almost all the kings of Judah; but God requires that the place of his temple and its vicinity shall be kept unpolluted; and when they put away all kinds of defilement, then will he dwell among them.
