1 Kings 15:13

13 Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron. ^{▼▼15:13The pagan god Priapus was a god of fertility, often portrayed in statues with exposed enlarged genitals, which is why this verse calls the idol very indecent. The spiritual level of meaning of this passage is a condemnation of the exaltation of sexuality found in modern society. Some persons behave as if they were worshiping sexuality.(Conte)}
