2 Tawarikh 34:4

Mezbah-mezbah para Baal dirobohkan di hadapannya; ia menghancurkan pedupaan-pedupaan yang ada di atasnya; ia meremukkan dan menghancurluluhkan tiang-tiang berhala, patung-patung pahatan dan patung-patung tuangan, dan menghamburkannya ke atas kuburan orang-orang yang mempersembahkan korban kepada berhala-berhala itu.

Maka di hadapan baginda dirobohkan oranglah segala mezbah Baalim dan segala gambar syamsiat, yang naik tinggi dari padanya, dipenggal-penggalnya, demikianpun segala hutan-hutan, dan segala patung ukiran dan patung tuangan dipecah-pecahkannya dan dihancurluluhkannya, lalu dihamburkannya kepada kubur segala orang yang sudah mempersembahkan korban kepadanya.

Contextual Overview

1 Iosia was eyght yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned in Hierusalem thirtie and one yeres. 2 And he dyd that whiche was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left. 3 In the eyght yere of his raigne, when he was yet a childe, he began to seke after the God of Dauid his father: And in the twelfth yere he began to purge Iuda & Hierusalem from the high places, groues, carued images, and images of metall. 4 And they brake downe the aulters of Baalim euen in his presence: and other images that were in greater honour then they, he caused to be destroyed: And the groues, carued images, and images of metall he brake and made dust of them, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had offered vnto them. 5 And he burnt the bones of the priestes vpon the aulters of them, and clensed Iuda and Hierusalem: 6 And euen so did he in the cities of Manasse, Ephraim, Simeon, vnto Nephthali, and in the wildernesse of them rounde about, 7 He plucked asunder the aulters & the groues, & did beate the images & stampe them to powder, and cut downe all the idoles throughout all the lande of Israel, and returned to Hierusalem againe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they broke down the altars of Baalim in his presence,.... He not only ordered them to be broke down, but he went in person, and saw it done; these were the altars Manasseh had reared up to the idols; and though upon his humiliation he cast them out, they were rebuilt by Amon his son, see 2 Chronicles 33:3,

and the images that were above them he cut down; sun images, as the word signifies; these Chamanim might be representatives of Cham or Ham, the son of Noah, the same with Jupiter Ammon; and there was another Heathen deity, Amanus, Strabo w speaks of, supposed to be the sun,

2 Chronicles 33:3- :, these, as Jarchi says, were in the form of the sun, and were set above the altars, over against the sun, to whom worship was paid; though some think this respects not place, but time, and that these were images in times past; in the preceding age, as the Tigurine version:

and the groves, and the carved images and the molten images, he brake in pieces; ordered them to be broken; the groves were statues, or images in groves, and thereby distinguished from those made of wood, and were carved, and from those that were of molten metal, and were placed elsewhere:

and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them, see 2 Kings 23:6.

w Geograph l. 11. p. 352.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The images - Margin, sun-images. See Leviticus 26:30 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 34:4. The altars of Baalim — How often have these been broken down, and how soon set up again! We see that the religion of a land is as the religion of its king. If the king were idolatrous, up went the altars, on them were placed the statues, and the smoke of incense ascended in ceaseless clouds to the honour of that which is vanity, and nothing to the world; on the other hand, when the king was truly religious, down went the idolatrous altars, broken in pieces were the images, and the sacrificial smoke ascended only to the true God: in all these cases the people were as one man with the king.
