Melachim Bais 16:14

14 And he moved also the Mizbe’ach Nechoshet, which was before Hashem, from the forefront of the Beis, from between [his] mizbe’ach and the Beis Hashem, and put it on the north side of [his] mizbe’ach.

Melachim Bais 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.

Melachim Bais 16:14 In-Context

12 And when HaMelech came from Damascus, HaMelech saw the mizbe’ach; and HaMelech approached the mizbe’ach, and went up to it.

13 And he burned his olah and his minchah, and poured his nesekh (drink offering), and sprinkled the dahm of his shelamim upon the mizbe’ach.

14 And he moved also the Mizbe’ach Nechoshet, which was before Hashem, from the forefront of the Beis, from between [his] mizbe’ach and the Beis Hashem, and put it on the north side of [his] mizbe’ach.

15 And HaMelech Achaz commanded Uriyah HaKohen, saying, Upon the Mizbe’ach HaGadol burn the olat haboker, and the minchat haerev, and the olat HaMelech, and his minchah, with the olat kol Am HaAretz, and their minchah, and their nesakhim; and sprinkle upon it all the dahm of the olah, and all the dahm of the zevach: but the Mizbe’ach HaNechoshet shall be for me to inquire by.

16 Thus did Uriyah HaKohen, according to all that HaMelech Achaz commanded.
