Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Note herein the striking fulfilment of 1 Kings 13:1-3, of which our parallel (2 Kings 23:12-14, 16-20) gives a more detailed account, especially as regards Israel, though not failing to recognize Judah and Jerusalem's share in the need of purgation and punishment.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) And he burnt . . . upon their altar.--See 2Kings 23:13-14; 2Kings 23:16; 2Kings 23:20 for details. Literally, and bones of priests he burnt. They were bones taken from the graves of the idolatrous priests, who were thus punished, while their altars were irreparably defiled. (For the horror with which such a violation of the dead was then regarded, see Amos 2:1.)And cleansed (i.e., "purged," 2Chronicles 34:3) Judah and Jerusalem.--This phrase does not occur at all in the parallel account. . . .
