Commentary

And he made his son pass through the fire,.... To Molech, after the manner of the old Canaanites and Phoenicians; his son Amon, that succeeded h im, and other children, as appears from Ch2 33:6 , where mention is made of the place where it was done, the valley of the son of Hinnom: and observed times; lucky or unlucky, which was judged of by omens, and by the position of the stars: and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards; to get knowledge of things to come; all which are forbid and condemned by the law of Moses; see Deu 18:10 , he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger; in all those evils before mentioned, which were very abominable in the sight of God.
