2 Chronicles 28:24

“And gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, etc.] And converted them to his own use, sold them, or melted the gold and silver, of which they were, and made money of them, his treasures being exhausted: and shut up the doors of the house of the Lord: that the people might not come and worship there, but on the high places he made: and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem; that the priests might sacrifice there, and not in the temple.”

“Compare 2 Kings 16:17 note. The temple-worship was suspended, the lamps put out, and the doors shut, to prevent the priests from entering. The Jews still celebrate a yearly fast in commemoration of this time of affliction. Altars - As the one altar for sacrifice, which alone the Law allowed, symbolized the doctrine of one God, so these many altars spoke unmistakeably of the all-embracing polytheism affected by Ahaz. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.

“28:24-25 Judah reached its spiritual nadir—a condition similar to exile—under King Ahaz.”
