Ist er nicht der Hiskia, der seine Höhen und Altäre weggetan hat und gesagt zu Juda und Jerusalem: Vor einem Altar sollt ihr anbeten und darauf räuchern?
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Hath not: 2 Chronicles 31:1, 2 Kings 18:4, 2 Kings 18:22, Isaiah 36:7
taken away: This was artfully malicious: many of the people had sacrificed to Jehovah on high places - 2 Chronicles 31:1, and Hezekiah had removed them, as incentives to idolatry. Hence Rabshakeh insinuates that by so doing he had offended Jehovah, deprived the people of their religious rights, and that, consequently, he could neither expect the blessing of God, nor the cooperation of the people.
Ye shall worship: Deuteronomy 12:13, Deuteronomy 12:14, Deuteronomy 12:26, Deuteronomy 12:27
one altar: 2 Chronicles 4:1, Exodus 27:1-8, Exodus 30:1-6, Exodus 40:26-29, 1 Kings 7:48
Reciprocal: Joshua 22:29 - to build 2 Kings 15:4 - the high places 2 Kings 15:35 - Howbeit 2 Kings 21:3 - the high places 1 Chronicles 22:1 - and this is the altar 2 Chronicles 33:3 - which Hezekiah 2 Chronicles 33:17 - people 2 Chronicles 34:27 - thine heart Isaiah 10:10 - the kingdoms

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The author of Chronicles compresses into 13 verses the history which occupies in Kings a chapter and a half (2 Kings 18:17-19; where see the notes).
2 Chronicles 32:10
In the siege - Perhaps “in straitness” (compare Jeremiah 19:9). Jerusalem is thought by some to have been not so much besieged at this time, as distressed and straitened for supplies, because the Assyrians were masters of the open country.
2 Chronicles 32:13
fathers - i. e. “predecessors.” Sennacherib really belonged to a dynasty that had only furnished one king before himself.
2 Chronicles 32:22
Guided them ... - A slight alteration of the existing text gives the sense - “gave them rest round about;” a common expression in Chronicles 2 Chronicles 15:15; 2 Chronicles 20:30.
