| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Sanctify now yourselves - Compare the marginal reference. Hezekiah follows David's example, knowing, probably, that the priests had in the preceding time of idolatry contracted many defilements.
The "filthiness," or "uncleanness" Ch2 29:16, might consist, in part, of mere dust and dirt, in part, of idolatrous objects introduced by Ahaz before he finally shut up the temple Kg2 16:10-16. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Filthiness - That filthy altar, which Ahaz had put in the place of God's altar, Kg2 16:11, and the idols, or other abominable things which were there. |
