SCRIPTURE

"and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel." — 1 Kings 14:24 (ASV)

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 which 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 18:1–30) .
