Scholars now realise that the idols in the Jerusalem Temple were not foreign, but represented gods and goddesses worshipped continuously by the Hebrew people for many centuries. This is confirmed in the Books of Kings, in numerous places. King Hezekiah was the first to attempt to institute monotheism in Judah, apparently for political reasons, and ordered the idols removed from the Temple. However, this attempt at monotheism did not survive his death, and the idols returned.
A century later, King Josiah ordered the idols removed from the Temple.
