2Ch 28:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : Ahaz’s wickedness went even further. He burned his own children in the fire as a sacrifice to Moloch ( he burnt his children in the fire , 2 Chronicles 28:3 ). This was not just dedicating them, but actually destroying them for a false god. This shows how far he had turned from both natural love and true religion.
