1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 22:38 according to the word of the LORD. See 1 Kings 21:19, although that verse does not mention prostitutes, but only dogs. There is already a close association between the two, however, in Deuteronomy 23:17. There Moses commands Israel not to become a cult prostitute or to bring into the temple the earnings of a female prostitute or a male prostitute (literally, “dog”; see esv footnote on Deuteronomy 23:18).
