Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 33:7

"And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:" — 2 Chronicles 33:7 (ASV)

And he set ... had made. — And he set the carven image of the idol which he had made. “Idol” (sèmel) explains “Asherah,” the term used in Kings. Both “carven image” and “idol” (Authorised Version, figure) occur in Deuteronomy 4:16.

The house of God. —Chronicles has added, of God, by way of explanation. The Temple proper is meant, as distinct from the courts.

Before all. — Out of all.

For ever. — Le’êlum, a form only found here (equivalent to le’ólâm).
