2 Kings 23:9 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 23:9

7 Then he tore down the ritual¹ booths ^aof the perverted persons that were in the house of the Lord, ^bwhere the ^cwomen wove hangings for the wooden image.

8 And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from ^aGeba to Beersheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to the left of the city gate.

9 ^aNevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, ^bbut they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.

10 And he defiled ^aTopheth, which is in ^bthe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^cthat no man might make his son or his daughter ^dpass through the fire to Molech.

11 Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had¹ dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
