פירוש על מלכים א 15:13

He removed from her position of authority. From being queen.

For she had made a fearful image. Our Rabbis stated [that מפלצת is a combination of] מפליא ליצונתא [=extreme lasciviousness]. She made for it a phallic symbol,¹Alternatively, an image that casts fear and dread unto its worshipers.—Radak and she would copulate with it every day.²Maseches Avodah Zarah 44a.
