Wesley's Notes

16:14 Brazen attar - Of burnt - offerings, made by Solomon, and placed there by God's appointment. From between, and c. - His new altar was at first set below the brazen altar, and at a farther distance from the temple. This he took for a disparagement to his altar; and therefore impiously takes that away, and puts his in its place. And put, and c. - So he put God's altar out of its place and use! A bolder stroke than the very worst of kings had hitherto given to religion.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:10-16 God's altar had hitherto been kept in its place, and in use; but Ahaz put another in the room of it. The natural regard of the mind of man to some sort of religion, is not easily extinguished; but except it be regulated by the word, and by the Spirit of God, it produces absurd superstitions, or detestable idolatries. Or, at best, it quiets the sinner's conscience with unmeaning ceremonies. Infidels have often been remarkable for believing ridiculous falsehoods.

Exodus 40:6 "You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

2 Kings 16:11 So Urijah the priest built an altar; according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, thus Urijah the priest made it, before the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.
