I Kings 15:12

And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

Effeminate. See 3 Kings 14:24. Yet his zeal could not entirely eradicate this evil. There was room for the exertions of his son Josaphat, 3 Kings 22:47. (Calmet) --- The king punished with death such as he could discover. (Haydock)
