Solomon took a census of all the foreign men in the land of Israel, after the census that his father David had conducted, and the total was 153,600.

for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,

And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
