Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 21:4

4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD , of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my Name .

i. e. In the Temple its self, in the Holy-place; because this is distinguished from the courts of the house, ver. 5.

That place I have peculiarly Consecrated to my Worship and Honour: which made it the greater Injustice, and Impiety, and Sacriledge, to Alienate it from God, and to Dedicate it, or any part of it, especially the Temple, to the service of Idols, whom God abhorreth.
