Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

Prosperity followed by disaster (25:1-28:27)Succeeding kings of Israel are passed over in silence (2 Kings 13:1-25). Judah was to have nothing to do with the northern kingdom, not even to the hiring of Israelite soldiers. Amaziah took the advice, and was rewarded with victory in a battle against Edom. But the victory, instead of increasing his dependence on God, gave him a feeling of independence. He turned from God and worshipped idols. The ungodly northern kingdom then became God’s instrument... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

L. Ahaz ch. 28With the reign of Ahaz the Chronicler introduced a new interest, namely, the prospect of captivity for Judah, which he again called "Israel"-the true Israel-twice in this chapter (2 Chronicles 28:19; 2 Chronicles 28:23).Why did Israel go into captivity? Why did the perfectly obedient Davidic King not appear? Ahaz’s behavior helps explain the reason. The writer selected three major events from Ahaz’s reign: the king’s idolatry (2 Chronicles 28:2-15), his appeal for help to Assyria... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

The Reign of AhazThis chapter recounts how the idolatry of Ahaz was punished by the attacks of Syria and Israel; how the captives taken by the Israelites were restored; and how Ahaz in his distress appealed to Assyria.This chapter corresponds to 2 Kings 16, but it omits many facts related there, whilst expanding the account of the war with Israel.5. The king of Syria] i.e. Rezin, who, with Pekah of Israel, wished to depose Ahaz: see Isaiah 7.7. Maaseiah, the king’s son] perhaps a son of Jotham... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 28:26

CLOSING NOTICES (2 Chronicles 28:26-27. Comp. 2 Kings 16:19-20).(26) Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways.—The chronicler has varied the usual formula. (See chapter 25:26, 26:7, &c., and comp. 2 Kings 16:19.)But (for) they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel.—Wanting in Kings. (See Note on chaps, 21:20, 26:23.) Thenius supposes that this statement is founded either upon mistake, or upon zeal for the Law. But why not upon a written authority? read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

THE WICKED KINGS2 Chronicles 28:1-27, Etc.THE type of the wicked king is not worked out with any fullness in Chronicles. There are wicked kings, but no one is raised to the "bad eminence" of an evil counterpart to David; there is no anti-David, so to speak, no prototype of antichrist. The story of Ahaz, for instance, is not given at the same length and with the same wealth of detail as that of David. The subject was not so congenial to the kindly heart of the chronicler. He was not imbued with... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

THE UNGODLY REIGN OF AHAZ (vv.1-4) Ahaz stands in painful contrast to his father. Jotham had been unable to rightly influence Judah to cease worshipping in high places, and it seems his influence over his own son was ineffective, for Ahaz from the beginning of his reign at the age of 20 was committed to a course of evil. Ignoring the faithfulness of his father David and that of other kings of Judah, he chose to follow the wicked example of the kings of Israel. He made idolatrous images and... read more
