2 Chronicles 30:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:14

And they arose
Before they slew and ate the passover:

and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem;
which Ahaz had set up in every corner of Jerusalem, to offer sacrifices upon, ( 2 Chronicles 28:24 )

and all the altars for incense took they away;
for as there were some to offer sacrifices on, there were others to burn incense upon, not to the Lord, but to idols, as the Targum adds:

and cast them into the brook Kidron;
having reduced them to dust and ashes, see ( 2 Chronicles 29:16 ) .

14 First, they removed the altars in Jerusalem, and hauled off the incense altars and dumped them in the Kidron Valley.

15 They slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. Ashamed of themselves, the priests and the Levites made themselves holy and brought entirely burned offerings to the LORD's temple.

16 They now took their places as laid out in the Instruction from Moses the man of God, and the priests splashed the blood they received from the Levites against the altar.
