Of zo gij tot mij zeggen wilt: Wij verlaten ons op den Heer, onzen God: --is Hij het dan niet, wiens hoogten en altaren Hizka heeft weggedaan, en gezegd tot Juda en Jeruzalem: Voor dit altaar, dat te Jeruzalem is, zult gij aanbidden?
Maar zo gij tot mij zegt: Wij vertrouwen op den HEERE, onzen God; is Hij die niet, Wiens hoogten en Wiens altaren Hizkia weggenomen heeft, en tot Juda en tot Jeruzalem gezegd heeft: Voor dit altaar zult gij u buigen te Jeruzalem?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The destruction of numerous shrines and altars where Yahweh had been worshipped 2 Kings 18:4 seemed to the Rab-shakeh conduct calculated not to secure the favor, but to call forth the anger, of the god. At any rate, it was conduct which he knew had been distasteful to many of Hezekiah’s subjects.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 18:22. Whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away — This was artfully malicious. Many of the people sacrificed to Jehovah on the high places; Hezekiah had removed them, (2 Kings 18:4), because they were incentives to idolatry: Rab-shakeh insinuates that by so doing he had offended Jehovah, deprived the people of their religious rights, and he could neither expect the blessing of God nor the cooperation of the people.
