2 Kings 16:14

Brazen attar — Of burnt — offerings, made by Solomon, and placed there by God's appointment. From between, &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, &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.
