2 Kings 16:13,14

And he burned his burnt-offering, &c. For the heathen, and Ahaz, in imitation of them, offered the same sorts of offerings to their false gods which the Israelites did to the true. He brought also the brazen altar Namely, the altar of burnt-offerings made by Solomon, and placed there by God's appointment; from before the Lord That is, from before the Lord's house, Leviticus 1:3. From between the altar, &c. Urijah had placed Ahaz's altar behind that of the Lord, namely, between it and the east gate of the court of the priests: but when Ahaz came, taking this for a disparagement to his altar, he impiously and audaciously removed the altar of the Lord to the north side of the court, and set his own in the place of it. A bolder stroke this, than the very worst of the kings had hitherto given to religion.
