2 Kings 3:27

3:27 So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him up as a burnt sacrifice on the wall. There was an outburst of divine anger against Israel, ¹  so they broke off the attack ²  and returned to their homeland.

2 Kings 5:17

5:17 Naaman said, “If not, then please give your servant a load of dirt, enough for a pair of mules to carry, ³  for your servant will never again offer a burnt offering or sacrifice to a god other than the Lord. ⁴ 

2 Kings 10:24-25

10:24 They went inside to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside. He had told them, “If any of the men inside get away, you will pay with your lives!” ⁵ 

10:25 When he finished offering the burnt sacrifice, Jehu ordered the royal guard ⁶  and officers, “Come in and strike them down! Don’t let any escape!” So the royal guard and officers struck them down with the sword and left their bodies lying there. ⁷  Then they entered the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal. ⁸ 

¹ tn Heb “there was great anger against Israel.”

² tn Heb “they departed from him.”

³ tn Heb “and [if] not, may there be given to your servant a load [for] a pair of mules, earth.”

⁴ tn Heb “for your servant will not again make a burnt offering and sacrifice to other gods, only to the Lord.”

⁵ tn Heb “The man who escapes from the men whom I am bringing into your hands, [it will be] his life in place of his life.”

⁷ tn Heb “runners.”

⁸ tn Heb “and they threw.” No object appears. According to M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [AB], 116), this is an idiom for leaving a corpse unburied.

⁹ tn Heb “and they came to the city of the house of Baal.” It seems unlikely that a literal city is meant. Some emend עִיר (’ir), “city,” to דְּבִיר (dÿvir) “holy place,” or suggest that עִיר is due to dittography of the immediately preceding עַד (’ad) “to.” Perhaps עִיר is here a technical term meaning “fortress” or, more likely, “inner room.”
