Mount of Corruption
The hill on the right hand of which Solomon built high places for Ashtoreth, Chemosh and Milcom (2Ki 23:13). The mountain referred to is no doubt the [[Mount of Olives]]. The high places would, therefore, be on the southern height called in later Christian writings the "Mount of Offence," and now, by the Arabs, Baten el-Hawa. Har ha-mashchith is probably only a perversion of har ha-mishchah, "Mount of Anointing," a later name of the Mount of Olives.
