12 And the king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, and he shattered them, [removing them] from thence, and cast the powder of them into the torrent of Kidron.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 12. And thus, in short, he penetrates into and destroys in himself the inmost principles of corrupted worship, the work of the perverted church from self-love, and also its exterior principles as to evil and error from the love of the world; and these things he does thoroughly, condemning all corrupt worship by the power of the Word in ultimates.
