2Ki 16:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : Ahaz moved the old bronze altar—the one God had commanded—to a less important place in the temple. He put his new altar in the main place. This showed he thought his own ideas were better than God’s commands. He did not destroy God’s altar, but he pushed it aside and said he would use it for asking advice, not for sacrifices (2 Kings 16:14; 2 Kings 20:11 ).
