Verse 7

Groves

Groves, like high places, have been associated with idolatrous worship from time immemorial. The Heb. asherah, trans. grove means also the idol enshrined there. Deuteronomy 16:21. This idol seems often to have been a sacred tree, the figure of which is constantly found on Assyrian monuments. In apostate Israel, however, such groves were associated with every form of idolatry, e.g. 2 Kings 17:16; 2 Kings 17:17.

(See Scofield "1 Kings 3:2") and Ashtaroth See Scofield "Judges 2:13".
