SCRIPTURE

"And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day." — 2 Kings 10:27 (ASV)

And they broke down the temple of Baal
Which some take to be Belus, others Saturn, others the sun, which seems most probable:

and broke down the house of Baal ;
his temple, demolished it:

and made it a draught house until this day ;
a common sewer, a jakes; a fit place for dunghill gods to be thrown into, and an idol temple to be turned into.
