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.
