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 So the priest Uriah built an altar. He followed all of the plans King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. He finished it before Ahaz returned.

12 The king came back from Damascus. When he saw the altar, he approached it. Then he offered sacrifices on it.

13 He offered up his burnt offering and grain offering. He poured out his drink offering. And he sprinkled blood from his friendship offerings on the altar.

14 The bronze altar for burnt offerings stood in front of the Lord. It was between the new altar and the LORD's temple. Ahaz took it away from the front of the temple. He put it on the north side of the new altar.

15 Then King Ahaz gave orders to the priest Uriah. He said, "Offer sacrifices on the large new altar. Offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering. Offer my burnt offering and my grain offering. Offer the burnt offering of all of the people of the land. Offer their grain offering and their drink offering. Sprinkle on the altar all of the blood from the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to look for advice and direction."
