2 Chronicles 28:3

He offered sacrifices in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and passed his sons through the fire, ¹  a horrible sin practiced by the nations ²  whom the Lord drove out before the Israelites.

Le 18:21; De 12:31; 2Ki 16:3; 2Ki 23:10; 2Ch 33:2; 2Ch 33:6; Ps 106:37,38; Jer 2:34; Jer 7:31,32; Jer 19:2-6,13; Jer 32:35; Eze 16:20,21; Mic 6:7

¹ sn This may refer to child sacrifice, though some interpret it as a less drastic cultic practice (NEB “burnt his sons in the fire”; NASB “burned his sons in the fire”; NIV “sacrificed his sons in the fire”; NRSV “made his sons pass through fire”). For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 266-67.

² tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”
