2 Kings - 16:17 Meaning
“And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
16:17-20 Ahaz put contempt upon the sabbath, and thus opened a wide inlet to all manner of sin. This he did for the king of Assyria. When those who have had a ready passage to the house of the Lord, turn it another way to please their neighbours, they are going down-hill apace to ruin.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
