Commentary on 2 Kings 23:14

Theological / Devotional

Bones of men. Human corpses and bones were regarded by the Hebrews as unclean and regulations were issued regarding their handling (Num. 19:11, 16). For the bones of dead men to be brought in contact with these high places would be regarded as defiling them forever and making them henceforth permanently unfit as places of worship.
