This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_16:15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire [by].
Ver. 15. Upon the great altar,] i.e., The new Damascen altar, quantitate vel dignitate maiore.
And sprinkle upon it.] A type of the application of Christ’s blood; {Heb_9:13-14} the abuse therefore was the greater.
And the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by.] Or, To see to: q.d., I will do with it as I see good. And Lyra saith that Ahaz afterwards made that famous dial of it. {2Ki_20:11} See to the contrary, 2Ch_29:18-19.
