Haydock's commentary
Carcasses. Literally, "ruins." (Haydock)
The remains of the dead were probably not disturbed; but no more, that we know of, were placed on Sion. (Calmet)
Kings may signify idols, Moloc, &c., which they had worshipped, and which some had even placed in the holy place, to the nation's ruin. (Haydock)
