2 Kings 16:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 16:13

And he burnt his burnt offering, and his meat offering
Which went together according to the law of God, and was imitated by the Heathens:

and poured his drink offering;
a libation of wine, as probably it was, like what they used according to the Levitical law:

and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar;
as used according to the same law; for all sorts of sacrifices were offered by idolaters, as by the people of God, in imitation of them.

2 Kings 16:13 In-Context

11 Then Uriyah the cohen built an altar exactly according to the design King Achaz had sent from Dammesek; Uriyah the cohen had it ready by the time King Achaz returned from Dammesek.
12 When the king arrived from Dammesek he saw the altar, and the king approached the altar and offered on it.
13 He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering and splashed the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 The bronze altar, which was before ADONAI, he brought from in front of the house, from between his own altar and the house of ADONAI, and put it on the north side of his own altar.
15 Then King Achaz instructed Uriyah the cohen as follows: "Henceforth, it is on the large altar that you are to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, together with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering and their drink offerings; and you are to splash all the blood of the burnt offering against it and all the blood of the sacrifice. As for the bronze altar, I will take care of that."
