2Ki 16:15-16 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for 2Kgs 16:15-16: 16:15-16 Ahaz ordered that standard daily sacrifices (Num 28:1-8 ) as well as the individual offerings of the king and people would be made on the new altar. Ahaz then restricted the bronze altar to his personal use (literally for seeking/inquiry ), probably to use it for pagan divination. This demand displayed a callous insolence against the Lord and his worship. Uriah the priest complied with Ahaz’s demands (2 Kgs 16:10-11 , 16 ), rather than resisting the king.
