Verse 3. Made a grove] He made Asherah, the Babylonian Melitta or Roman Venus. See 2Ki 17:10, and the observations at the end of that chapter; and see here on 2Ki 21:7.

Worshipped all the host of heaven] All the stars and planets, but particularly the sun and the moon.

‏ 2 Kings 21:7

Verse 7. He set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house] Every one may see that Asherah here must signify an idol, and not a grove; and for the proof of this see the observations at the end of the chapter. See Clarke on 2Ki 21:26.
