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.
