| II Chronicles 28:24
| Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
| God: first through fear of the Assyrian, (4 Kings) but afterwards he permitted it to continue in the same state of irreligion. (Calmet) --- So easily do people fall into this abyss, who begin to neglect instruction! (Haydock) --- Ezechias took care to open the temple again, 2 Paralipomenon 29:3. (Calmet) --- None of the former kings had dared (Haydock) to prohibit the worship of the true God. (Tirinus)
