In context2 Kings 16:15

King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, with their grain offering and their drink offerings. You shall sprinkle all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice on it. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire .”
