Isaiah 2:8 - Exposition

Full of idols . The historians declare that both Uzziah and Jotham maintained the worship of Jehovah and disallowed idolatry ( 2 Kings 15:3 , 2 Kings 15:34 ; 2 Chronicles 26:4 ; 2 Chronicles 27:2 ), so that we must regard the idol-worship of the time as an irregular and private practice. (It is, perhaps, alluded to in 2 Chronicles 27:2 ; and the fact of its prevalence is stated in Amos 2:1 ; Micah 5:13 .) Perhaps Bishop Lowth is right in regarding it as mainly a continuation of the old private teraphim worship.
