'Male' in the Bible
It had happened that when David was at Edom, Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, and he killed every male in Edom.
For Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months until he exterminated every male in Edom.
There were also male shrine prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh had driven out from before the {Israelites}.
He put away the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all of the idols that his ancestors made.
'Look, I [am] bringing disaster on you, and I will sweep away after you. I will cut off for Ahab {every male} in Israel, bond or free.
The remainder of the male shrine prostitutes who were left over in the days of Asa his father he exterminated from the land.
