Oh, dude, the author probably referenced the ancient definition of idols to show how people used to worship physical objects as gods, you know, like statues and stuff. It's like a history lesson mixed with a little drama to spice up the reading. So, yeah, it's just to give some context and make the whole idol-worship thing more interesting.
