Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Kings 16:12

And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered (h) thereon.

(h) Either offerings for peace or prosperity, or thanksgiving as in (Leviticus 3:1) or else meaning the morning and evening offering, (Exodus 29:38; Numbers 28:3) and thus he contemned the means and the altar which God had commanded by Solomon, to serve God after his own fantasy.
