2 Kings 23:11 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 23:11

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.

12 The altars that were ^aon the roof, the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which ^bManasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, the king broke down and pulverized there, and threw their dust into the Brook Kidron.

13 Then the king defiled the¹ high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the² south of the Mount of Corruption, which ^aSolomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.

14 And he ^abroke in pieces the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images, and filled their places with the bones of men.
