And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Kings. The narrative turns to Rehoboam and describes Judah’s religious condition, including high places, sacred stones, and practices condemned by Israelite law. Although Judah retains Jerusalem and the temple, it does not automatically remain faithful. The text avoids a simple opposition between sinful Israel and faithful Judah: both kingdoms are evaluated according to their relationship with the Lord.

Es waren auch Hurer im Lande; und sie taten alle Greuel der Heiden, die der HERR vor den Kindern Israel vertrieben hatte.

También había hombres dedicados a la prostitución ritual en la tierra. Practicaron todas las abominaciones de las naciones que Jehová había expulsado de delante de los israelitas.
Il y eut même des prostitués dans le pays. Ils imitèrent toutes les abominations des nations que l'Eternel avait chassées devant les enfants d'Israël.
V’erano eziandio de’ cinedi nel paese. Essi fecero secondo tutti i fatti abbominevoli delle genti, le quali il Signore avea scacciate d’innanzi a’ figliuoli d’Israele.
Havia também sodomitas na terra; fizeram conforme a todas as abominações dos povos que o SENHOR tinha expulsado de diante dos filhos de Israel.
國中也有男的廟妓。他們效法耶和華在 以色列 人面前所趕出的外邦人,行一切可憎惡的事。
