SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:14
Y el altar de bronce que estaba delante del SEÑOR, lo hizo acercar delante de la frontera de la Casa, entre el altar y el templo del SEÑOR, y lo puso al lado del altar hacia el aquilón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 16:14
Verse 14. Put it on the north side] He seems to have intended to conform every thing in the Lord's house as much as possible to the idolatrous temples which he saw at Damascus, and to model the Divine worship in the same way: in a word to honour and worship the gods of Syria, and not the God of heaven. All the alterations specified here were in contempt of the true God. Thus he provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers, 2 Chronicles xxviii. 25.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he brought also the brasen altar which was before the Lord , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - God's altar had hitherto been kept in its place, and in use; but Aha 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 absur superstitions, or detestable idolatries. Or, at best, it quiets the sinner's conscience with unmeaning ceremonies. Infidels have often bee remarkable for believing ridiculous falsehoods.
