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?
¿No fue este mismo Ezequías quien quitó los lugares de adoración y los altares, y ordenó al pueblo de Judá y Jerusalén, diciendo: 'Deben adorar solamente en un altar y quemar incienso allí'?
Los enemigos acusaban a Ezequías de haber quitado los lugares de adoración y limitado el culto a un solo altar.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes from the Assyrian official's speech trying to demoralize Jerusalem's defenders during King Sennacherib's siege around 701 BC. The Assyrian was twisting Hezekiah's religious reforms, which had removed pagan worship sites and centralized proper worship at Solomon's temple, making it sound like Hezekiah had weakened their god's power. This was part of psychological warfare to make the people doubt their king and surrender.
