Bahkan, ia mempersembahkan anaknya sebagai korban dalam api, melakukan ramal dan telaah, dan menghubungi para pemanggil arwah dan para pemanggil roh peramal. Ia melakukan banyak yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.
Bahkan, disuruhnya puteranya menerusi api dan dilihatnya dalam nujum dan diselidiknya pesona seranah dan diangkatnya akan orang tenungan dan hobatan; dibuatnya amat banyak perkara yang jahat kepada pemandangan Tuhan, akan membangkitkan murka-Nya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he made his son pass through the fire,.... To Molech, after the manner of the old Canaanites and Phoenicians; his son Amon, that succeeded him, and other children, as appears from 2 Chronicles 33:6, where mention is made of the place where it was done, the valley of the son of Hinnom:
and observed times; lucky or unlucky, which was judged of by omens, and by the position of the stars:
and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards; to get knowledge of things to come; all which are forbid and condemned by the law of Moses; see Deuteronomy 18:10,
he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger; in all those evils before mentioned, which were very abominable in the sight of God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On the meaning of the phrase “passing through the fire,” see 2 Kings 16:3, and Leviticus 20:2-5.
To “observe times” was forbidden in the Law (marginal references), and was no doubt among the modes of divination practiced by the Canaanite nations. It has been explained as,
(1) Predicting from the state of the clouds and atmosphere;
(2) Fascination with the eye;
(3) Watching and catching at chance words as ominous.
Dealt with familiar spirits - This practice was forbidden by Moses Leviticus 19:31 under the penalty of death Leviticus 20:27. Its nature is best learned from Saul’s visit to the witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28:7, etc.).
Wizards - “Wizards” - literally, “wise men” - are always joined with those who have familiar spirits. Probably they were a sort of necromancers.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 21:6. Made his son pass through the fire — Consecrated him to Moloch.
Observed times — ועונן veonen; he practiced divination by the clouds; by observing their course at particular times, their different kinds, contrary directions, c., c.
Used enchantments — ונחש venichesh he used incantations, spells, and charms.
Dealt with familiar spirits — ועשה אוב veasah ob he was a necromancer; was a raiser of spirits, whom he endeavoured to press into his service; he had a Python.
And wizards — וידענים veyiddeonim; the knowing ones, the white witches, and such like; see on Leviticus 19:26-31, where most of these terms are particularly explained and illustrated.
