After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
Hath not: 2 Chronicles 31:1, 2 Kings 18:4, 2 Kings 18:22, Isaiah 36:7
taken away: This was artfully malicious: many of the people had sacrificed to Jehovah on high places - 2 Chronicles 31:1, and Hezekiah had removed them, as incentives to idolatry.
