מלכים ב, פרק ט״ז, פסוק י״ג

The act of offering sacrifices takes place on a ritual structure built in a distinctly foreign style. Because the design for this altar was imported from the northern region, the entire ceremony adopts an Aramean-Assyrian format. Every step of the process—from presenting the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings to splashing the blood of the peace offerings against the altar—is carried out strictly according to this foreign custom [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
