2 Chronicles 33:6

And he caused R.V. He also made. There is stress on the pronoun "He" (that wicked one!).

to pass through the fire Cp. 2 Chronicles 28:3, note.

in the valley of the son of Hinnom Cp. Jeremiah 7:31-32.

observed times R.V. practised augury. The precise meaning of the Heb. word (-ônçn) is quite uncertain. "Augury" among the Romans consisted chiefly in observing birdsand interpreting the observations made, but augurs observed also various natural phenomena.

used witchcraft R.V. practised sorcery. The Heb. word (kishshçph) is said to mean "make a magic brew with shredded herbs."

with a familiar spirit R.V. with them that had familiar spirits. The Heb. word (ôb) probably means a necromancer who uses ventriloquism in the practice of his art. The witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28) was such a person. LXX. here has [ἐποίησεν] ἐνγαστριμύθους, i.e. "he appointed ventriloquists."
