2 Kings16:14

14 And he brought also the brazen altar which was before the LORD , from the fore-front of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD , and put it on the north side of the altar .

Of Burnt-Offerings, made by Solomon, and placed there by God's appointment.

i. e. From before the Lord's House; See on Lev. 1. 3.

Or rather, from between his Altar, &c. or, that Altar, &c. His new Altar was at first set below the brazen Altar, and at a further distance from the Temple. This he took for a disparagement to his Altar; and therefore most impiously and audaciously takes that away, and puts his in its place.

Or, of that Altar; or of his Altar; as before. So he put God's Altar out of its p[illegible: 1+ letters]ce and use.
