**Groves**
Groves, like high places, have been associated with idolatrous worship from time immemorial. The Heb. asherah, trans. grove means also the idol enshrined there. [Deuteronomy 16:21](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/16/21). This idol seems often to have been a sacred tree, the figure of which is constantly found on Assyrian monuments. In apostate Israel, however, such groves were associated with every form of idolatry, e.g. [2 Kings 17:16](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/16); [2 Kings 17:17](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/17).
*(See Scofield "*[2 Kings 17:17](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/17)*")* and Ashtaroth See Scofield "[Judges 2:13](#c7.3.7)".
