Defiling God's Holy House
Commentators explain that this verse refers to a specific and shocking act of evil: placing idols directly within God's Temple in Jerusalem. Scholars point to kings like Manasseh who deliberately set up 'abominations,' such as altars to foreign gods, in the very house dedicated to Jehovah, thereby polluting His sacred space.
