1 Kings 15:12

Context
15:12 He removed the male cultic prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the disgusting idols 1  his ancestors 2  had made.

1 tn The word used here, גִלּוּלִים [gillulim], is always used as a disdainful reference to idols. It is generally thought to have originally referred to “dung pellets” (cf. KBL 183 s.v. גִלּוּלִים). It is only one of several terms used in this way, such as “worthless things” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), “vanities” or “empty winds” (הֲבָלִים, havalim).

2 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 24).
