12 Também o rei derrubou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenáculo de Acaz, os quais os reis de Judá tinham feito, como também os altares que Manassés fizera nos dois átrios da casa do Senhor; e, tendo-os esmigalhado, os tirou dali e lançou o pó deles no ribeiro de Cedrom.

2 Reis 23:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:12

And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of
Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made
Which were on the roof of the royal palace; the roofs of houses in Judah being flat, ( Deuteronomy 21:8 ) altars might be built upon them; so, in Arabia, altars were built on the tops of houses to offer incense thereon daily to the sun F16; as here by Manasseh and Amon very probably, which might be chosen because nearer the heavens; for which reason the Heathens made use of high places to worship in, see ( Jeremiah 19:13 ) ( 32:29 ) ( Zephaniah 1:5 )

and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house
of the Lord;
( 2 Kings 21:5 )

did the king beat down;
ordered to be demolished:

and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the
brook Kidron;
that there might be no remains of them to be put to any superstitious use.

10 Profanou a Tofete, que está no vale dos filhos de Hinom, para que ninguém fosse passar seu filho ou sua filha pelo fogo a Moloque.
11 Tirou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham consagrado ao sol, � entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da câmara do camareiro Natã-Meleque, a qual estava no recinto; e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.
12 Também o rei derrubou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenáculo de Acaz, os quais os reis de Judá tinham feito, como também os altares que Manassés fizera nos dois átrios da casa do Senhor; e, tendo-os esmigalhado, os tirou dali e lançou o pó deles no ribeiro de Cedrom.
13 O rei profanou também os altos que estavam ao oriente de Jerusalém, � direita do Monte de Corrupção, os quais Salomão, rei de Israel, edificara a Astarote, abominação dos sidônios, a Quemós, abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, abominação dos filhos de Amom.
14 Semelhantemente quebrou as colunas, e cortou os aserins, e encheu os seus lugares de ossos de homens
