Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

2 Chronicles 30:14

Took away the altars. — The altars of burnt offering erected by Ahaz “in every corner” of the city (2 Chronicles 28:24).

Altars for incense. — Ha-mĕqattĕrôth — literally, the incense-burners. The term occurs here only.

Cast them into the brook Kidron. — See on 2 Chronicles 29:16. Thus the city was purified as well as the Temple.
