Context — Jehoiada Restores the Worship of the LORD
15So they seized Athaliah as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and there they put her to death.
16Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people.
17So all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.
18Moreover, Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of the LORD into the hands of the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and song, as ordained by David. 19He stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that no one who was in any way unclean could enter.Cross References

2 Chronicles 23:17 Summary
In 2 Chronicles 23:17, the people showed their commitment to following God by tearing down the temple of Baal and removing the idols and altars. This was a big step towards obeying God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 12:2-3, and it showed that they were serious about being the Lord's people, as they had agreed to in 2 Chronicles 23:16. Just like the people in this verse, we need to be willing to remove sinful influences from our lives in order to follow God wholeheartedly, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:29-30. By taking radical action against sin, we can demonstrate our love for God and our desire to follow Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the people kill Mattan the priest of Baal in 2 Chronicles 23:17?
The people killed Mattan the priest of Baal because he was leading them in idolatrous worship, which was a direct rebellion against the one true God, as seen in Deuteronomy 13:6-10 and Exodus 22:20.
What is the significance of tearing down the temple of Baal in this verse?
Tearing down the temple of Baal symbolized the people's rejection of idolatry and their return to worshiping the one true God, as commanded in the Second Commandment in Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9.
How does this event relate to the covenant made in 2 Chronicles 23:16?
The destruction of the temple of Baal in 2 Chronicles 23:17 was a direct result of the covenant made in 2 Chronicles 23:16, where the people agreed to be the Lord's people, and it demonstrated their commitment to following God's commands as seen in Deuteronomy 12:2-3.
What can we learn from the people's actions in this verse about dealing with sin in our own lives?
The people's actions in 2 Chronicles 23:17 teach us that dealing with sin in our lives requires radical action, just as God commands in Psalm 101:5 and Matthew 5:29-30, and that we must be willing to completely remove sinful influences from our lives in order to follow God wholeheartedly.

2 Chronicles 23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.Ver. 17. Then all the people.] See 2 Kings 11:18. This was the joyful day that God’ s people had so long prayed for. Pray and look up: an answer will surely come down.
