The brazen altar of burnt-offerings, made by Solomon, and placed there by God's appointment. Which was before the Lord, i.e. from before the Lord's house: See Poole on "Leviticus 1:3". From between the altar and the house of the Lord; or rather, from between his altar, &c., or, that altar, &c. His new altar was at first set below the brazen altar, and at a further distance from the temple. This he took for a disparagement to his altar; and therefore most impiously and audaciously takes that away, and puts his in its place. On the north side of the altar; or, of that altar; or, of his altar; as before. So he put God's altar out of its place and use.
