2 Kings 16:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 16:14

And he brought also the brasen altar which was before the
Lord
That which Solomon made, ( 2 Chronicles 4:1 ) , which stood in the court by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord, ( Leviticus 1:5 ) from the forefront of the house; the frontispiece of the temple, which was at the eastern gate of it:

from between the altar and the house of the Lord
for it seems Urijah had placed the new altar behind the old one, more out of sight; the brasen altar standing between that and the eastern gate, or entrance into the temple; wherefore he removed the brasen altar, and put his new one in the room of it:

and put it;
that is, the brasen altar of Solomon:

on the north side of the altar;
of the new altar, at the right hand as they went into the temple; where it was as in a corner, in greater obscurity, and the new altar more in view as they came into the temple.

15 King Ahaz commanded the priest Uriah, saying, "Upon the great altar offer the morning burnt offering, and the evening grain offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering, and their drink offering; then dash against it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."

16 The priest Uriah did everything that King Ahaz commanded.
