Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 10:26

"And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them." — 2 Kings 10:26 (ASV)

The images. —Rather, the pillars, which were of wood and had a sacred significance .

“In primitive times, a pillar was the distinguishing mark of a holy place. Idolatrous pillars were commanded to be destroyed (Exodus 23:24), but most critics think that pillars to Jehovah were quite allowable until the time of Hezekiah or Josiah, to which they assign the Book of Deuteronomy . At any rate, the prophet (Isaiah) gives an implicit sanction to the erection of a sacred pillar in Egypt” (Cheyne’s Note on Isaiah 19:19).

The Septuagint has the singular here (τὴν στήλην) and the plural in the next verse. The Syriac has the singular “statue” in both.
