23:13-14 Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, had been dominated by Baal worship supported by the government prophets (1 Kgs 18:19; see also Jer 16:12). The religious leaders of Judah were even worse. • Sodom and Gomorrah represented the worst of this kind of wickedness (Gen 18:20).
