Contextual Overview

10 So then King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, in Damascus, and saw the altar which was in Damascus, - and King Ahaz, sent unto Urijah the priest, a likeness of the altar, and a model thereof, according to all the workmanship thereof; 11 and Urijah the priest built an altar, - according to all that King Ahaz sent from Damascus, so, did Urijah the priest make it, by the time King Ahaz came from Damascus. 12 And, when the king came from Damascus, then the king saw the altar, - so the king drew near unto the altar, and caused offerings to ascend thereupon. 13 And he made perfume with his ascending-sacrifice, and with his meal-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, - and dashed the blood of the peace-offerings which he had, upon the altar. 14 And, the altar of bronze which was before Yahweh, he brought away from the forefront of the house, from between the altar, and the house of Yahweh, - and put it at the side of the altar northward. 15 And King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying - Upon the great altar, make thou perfume with the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, and with the meal-offering of the evening, and with the ascending-sacrifice of the king and with his meal-offering, and with the ascending-sacrifice of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering and their drink-offering, and, all the blood of the ascending-offering, and all the blood of the peace offering, thereupon, shalt thou dash, - but, the altar of bronze, shall be for me to inquire into . 16 So Urijah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

2 Kings 16:11, Acts 4:19, Acts 5:29, 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Jude 1:11

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that King Ahaz commanded. Not only concerning the structure of the altar, but the sacrifices to be offered on it; like king like priest, both apostates and idolaters.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The writer condemns the obsequiousness of Urijah, whose conduct was the more inexcusable after the noble example of his predecessor Azariah 2 Chronicles 26:17-20.
