Compare all
12 And when the king came back from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and athe king approached the altar and made offerings on it.  
13 So he burned his burnt offering and his grain offering; and he poured his drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 He also brought athe bronze altar which was before the Lord, from the front of the1 temple—from between the new altar and the house of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar.  
15 Then King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great new altar burn athe morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. And the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”  
16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

2 Kings 16:14

Put it on the north side - He seems to have intended to conform every thing in the Lord' s house as much as possible to the idolatrous temples which he saw at Damascus, and to model the Divine worship in the same way: in a word to honor and worship the gods of Syria, and not the God of heaven. All the alterations specified here were in contempt of the true God. Thus he provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers, II Chronicles 28:25.
