TSK · 2 Kings 21:5

He built the inner courtyard with three rows of chiseled stones and a row of cedar beams.

The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the high-ranking priests, and the guards to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the items that were used in the worship of Baal, Asherah, and all the stars of the sky. The king burned them outside of Jerusalem in the terraces of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

The king tore down the altars the kings of Judah had set up on the roof of Ahaz’s upper room, as well as the altars Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the LORD’s temple. He crushed them up and threw the dust in the Kidron Valley.

In the two courtyards of the LORD’s temple he built altars for all the stars in the sky.

Then he brought me to the inner court of the LORD’s house. Right there at the entrance to the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the LORD’s temple, facing east– they were worshiping the sun toward the east!

Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. He measured the gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

He measured the court as a square 175 feet long and 175 feet wide; the altar was in front of the temple.

Then a wind lifted me up and brought me to the inner court; I watched the glory of the LORD filling the temple.
