2 Reyes 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.

2 Reyes 23:12 In-Context

10 Tambi茅n profan贸 al Tofet que est谩 en el valle de Ben-hinom, para que nadie hiciera pasar por fuego a su hijo o a su hija para honrar a Moloc.
11 A la entrada de la casa del SE脩OR, junto a la c谩mara de Nat谩n-melec, el oficial que estaba en las dependencias, quit贸 los caballos que los reyes de Jud谩 hab铆an dedicado al sol, y prendi贸 fuego a los carros del sol.
12 Y los altares que estaban sobre el techo, el aposento alto de Acaz que hab铆an hecho los reyes de Jud谩, y los altares que hab铆a hecho Manas茅s en los dos atrios de la casa del SE脩OR el rey los derrib贸, los destroz贸 all铆 y arroj贸 su polvo al torrente Cedr贸n.
13 El rey tambi茅n profan贸 los lugares altos que estaban frente a Jerusal茅n, los que estaban a la derecha del monte de destrucci贸n, que Salom贸n, rey de Israel, hab铆a edificado a Astoret, abominaci贸n de los sidonios, y a Quemos, abominaci贸n de Moab, y a Milcom, 铆dolo abominable de los hijos de Am贸n.
14 Asimismo hizo pedazos los pilares sagrados, derrib贸 las Aseras y llen贸 sus lugares con huesos humanos
