KJV - 2 Kings 23:13

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

And the high places in Jerusalem, where bad things were worshiped by Solomon, king of Israel, were made even worse by the new king. These places were for Ashtoreth, Chemosh, and Milcom, gods of the Zidonians, Moabites, and Ammonites.
