👉 The word "Kastar" appears in various parts of the Bible, specifically in 1 Sam.1:28-35, where it refers to an idol or idol worship that was common at the time of David. Specifically, the phrase is used in verse 34: "David built a temple (a Kastar) on Mount Moriah, and he offered sacrifices there. For the sake of his name’s sake (his own honor), he did it. But the people didn’t do it." The Bible context suggests that idol worship was not uncommon among the Israelites at that time, but David's temple was a specific example of such behavior. The phrase "Kastar" is used to describe an idol or idol worship that was prevalent in the land of Israel and was common among the people as they sought God's favor and honor through offerings of animals or other religious objects.
