kaw-dashe'

1st Kings (alias 3rd Kings) Elias [Elijah] was sent by G_d/Yhwh to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, to announce to King Achaz that Yhwh would avenge his apostasy. Achaz built a temple to Ba’al for his Tyrean wife Jezabel, and doubtless offered sacrifice to this idol. But Achaz also brought back another ancient practice.

14 23. For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves, upon every high hill, and under every green tree: 24. There were also the effeminate [catamites] in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people, whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.

The newer translations may not use the note 'catamite', but the King James translates the same word as sodomite instead of effeminate.

Catamites/Sodomites: qadesh, (kaw-dashe') from 'qadash' (6942); a (quasi) sacred person, i.e. (technically) a (male) devotee (by prostitution) to licentious idolatry:-- sodomite, unclean.

This really should be understood as King Achaz brought back homosexual Temple Protitutes along with idolatry to Ba'al. Food for thought considering what has been going on for the past 40 years.
