Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe remnant of the sodomites - הקדש of the consecrated persons; or it may rather apply here to the system of pollution, effeminacy, and debauch. He destroyed the thing itself; the abominations of Priapus, and the rites of Venus, Baal, and Ashtaroth. No more of that impure worship was to be found in Judea.

made peace with the king
on 1 Kings 22:44-46
Jehoshaphat's peace with Israel closes the war thread the chapter opened with, and the record is filed to the chronicles of Judah as every reign in this book is filed. One reform is credited to him plainly: the remnant of the sodomites his father Asa had begun removing at 15:12 he finishes taking out of the land.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the remnant of the Sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. His father Asa removed many of these filthy creatures, but not all; as many, no doubt, as came within his knowledge, but some remained, whom this his son removed, being of the same disposition with his father, see 1Ki 15:12.
