2 Kings16:14

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.
