2 Chronicles 28:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 He lived in the same bad way that the kings of Israel did. He also used metal to make images of the god Baal. 3 He offered sacrifices in Ben-Hinnom Valley. He even caused his sons to walk through fire.[a] In this way he copied the terrible sins of the other nations in Canaan. Those were the nations that the Lord had chased out so that the Israelites could live there. 4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and he burned incense on altars on the hills, as well as under all the big trees.

- 28:3 The Ben-Hinnom Valley was to the south of Jerusalem. It was a place where Judah's people did disgusting things. ‘Walk through fire’ may mean that Ahaz burned his sons as a sacrifice to false gods.
