The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 28:1-15

Ahaz Defeated by the Syrians and by Israel v. 1. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; but he did not that which was right, in accordance with the Law of God, in the sight of the Lord, like David, his father. In spite of the fact that he had the great prophet Isaiah in his kingdom, he was given to idolatry and to other forms of wickedness, all of which he refused to forsake. v. 2. For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, whose... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-11

Smitten for Forsaking the Lord 2 Chronicles 28:1-11 The reign of Ahaz was marked by terrible and rapid degeneration. He not only restored idolatry and offered his children to Moloch, but as the difficulties of his reign increased, he made an alliance with the king of Assyria, notwithstanding the vehement protests of Isaiah. His extreme wickedness made him notorious. “This is that king Ahaz,” 2 Chronicles 28:22 . The instruments used for his punishment were the kings of Syria and Israel, 2... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

The whole reign of Ahaz was a period of terrible and rapid degeneracy. With appalling fearlessness the king restored all the evils of idolatry, even including the terrible offering of children to Moloch. In all probability his own son was a victim. As dif6culties gathered around, he turned to the king of Assyria for aid, attempting to procure help from him by giving him treasure out of the house of God. The evil of his character is supremely demonstrated in that calamities seemed not to have... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

2 Chronicles 28:1-Daniel : . The Reign of Ahaz.— See notes on 2 Kings 16, but the Chronicler’ s account of this reign is largely independent of 2 K.; he makes the Syro-Ephraimite War two separate campaigns, Ahaz being in turn defeated by the Syrians and then by the northern Israelites. This cannot be regarded as historical in face of 2 Kings 16; the Chronicler has probably reconstructed the history with a view to bringing into greater relief the punishment of Ahaz on account of his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

By Chuck SmithShall we turn now to II Chronicles, chapter 28.We are now moving into the final stages of the deterioration of this nation prior to its destruction. Ahaz is now the king.He is twenty years old when he began to reign ( 2 Chronicles 28:1 ),And he is an extremely wicked person. And it is really during his reign that the kingdom sinks to a lower level spiritually than it ever has. And this begins the final downward trend. There are few respites. Hezekiah, his son, was a very good... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

2 Chronicles 28:3 . Burnt his children. In 2 Kings 16:3, it is said he made his son “pass through the fire.” The Hebrew term has a double meaning. Sometimes it implies the burning of children in the arms of Moloch till they were consumed, and so it is explained in Ezekiel 16:20-21. Others made their children pass between two fires, to dedicate them to Moloch. Hence it appears that Ahaz burnt one of his sons, and dedicated all the others by making them pass between the fires. The Talmud has... read more
