1 Kings 15:12

And he took away the Sodomites out of the land ,.... Which were in the times of Rehoboam, 1 Kings 14:24 , and continued in his father's reign; those he took away, either by driving them out of the land, or by putting them to death according to the law of God, Leviticus 20:13 even as many of them as he had knowledge of, for some remained, see 1 Kings 22:46 ,

and removed all the idols that his fathers had made ; or suffered to be made, as Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijam, see 1 Kings 11:7 .
