Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 15:13

15:13 He removed - He took from her either the name and authority ofqueen regent, which she, having been Rehoboam's wife, and Abijam'smother, took to herself during Asa's minority; or, the dignity of thequeen mother, and those guards, or instruments of power, which she hadenjoyed and misemployed. An Idol - Heb. a terror, or horror, thatis, an horrible idol; which it may be so called, because it was of a moreterrible shape than ordinary, and not to be seen without horror.Kidron - That when it was burnt to powder, it might be thrown into thewater, and be unfit for any use.
