列王纪下 16:19-20 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 16:20

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. This must be taken in the same sense, and with the same limitations, as the same phrase in 2 Kings 12:21 . The writer of Chronicles ( 2 Chronicles 28:27 ) says, "And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulcher s of the kings ." Like Uzziah, he was not thought worthy of sepulture in the royal catacomb (see the comment... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 16:1-20

Judah’s decline under Ahaz (15:27-16:20)The writer of Kings records the Assyrian attack mentioned above. Pekah’s policy had proved fatal and he was assassinated by Hoshea, a sympathizer with Assyria. Hoshea then became king and won temporary relief for Israel by submitting to Assyria’s control (27-31).Before speaking further of Hoshea, the writer returns to the time before Pekah was assassinated. Pekah’s program for the conquest of Judah had begun during the reign of Jotham, but reached its... read more

Ahaz’s death 16:19-20The godly people in Judah gave Ahaz a respectable burial (2 Kings 16:20), but they did not honor him by burying him in the royal sepulchers with the good Judean kings (2 Chronicles 28:27).Ahaz reduced Judah to a new low politically and spiritually. The forces that influenced him were his culture and the people around him rather than God’s Word."When Ahaz dies about 715 B.C., he is succeeded by Hezekiah, his son. He leaves a legacy of appeasement and syncretism unmatched to... read more

Lowering the Sea 2 Kings 16:17 'King Ahaz... took down the sea.' The reference is to the enormous and superb laver which was situate in the temple, and was intended for the cleansing of the priests. I. We have not lowered the sea! No. But we have Frustrated the Divine Plan. That plan we may not have spoiled utterly, thanks to restraining grace, but we have frustrated it in detail. True, Ahaz did not frustrate God's plan as a whole. He 'took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were... read more
