'Prostitutes' in the Bible

Right about then, two prostitutes approached the king and requested an audience with him.

They even maintained male shrine prostitutes throughout the land, and imitated every detestable practice that the nations practiced whom the LORD had expelled in front of the Israelis.

He also removed the male cult prostitutes from the land and destroyed all the idols that his ancestors had made.

They washed the chariot by the reservoir of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood near where the prostitutes went to bathe, in keeping with the message that the LORD had spoken.

He also eliminated the male cult prostitutes who still remained from the time of his father Asa.
