2 Kings 16:11,12

And Urijah built an altar, &c. He complied with the king's command against his own conscience, and against the express command of that great God to whom the king and he both were subject. The priest made it against Ahaz came from Damascus He made haste and delayed not to do it, to please the king, and advance himself. The king approached to the altar, and offered thereon Namely, a sacrifice, and that not unto God, but unto the Syrian idols, (2 Chronicles 28:23,) to whom that altar was appropriated. A wonderful blindness, to worship those gods, and expect help from them, who could not preserve their own country from ruin! Whether Ahaz offered this sacrifice himself, or by a priest, is not certain.
