Geneva Study Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:13

28:13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have {h} offended against the LORD [already], ye intend to add [more] to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and [there is] fierce wrath against Israel.(h) God will not allow this sin which we commit against him, to go unpunished. read more

28:15 And the men which were {i} expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and {k} anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their {l} brethren: then they returned to Samaria.(i) Whose name were rehearsed before, 2 Chronicles 28:12.(k) Either for their wounds or weariness.(l) To them of... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:19

28:19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of {n} Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.(n) He means Judah, because Ahaz forsook the Lord and sought help from the infidels.

Geneva Study Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:23

28:23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which {o} smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may {p} help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.(o) As he falsely supposed.(p) Thus the wicked measure God’s favour by prosperity and adversity: for if idolaters prosper, they make their idols gods, not considering that God often punishes them whom he loves and gives his enemies good success for a... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:27

28:27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, [even] in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the {q} sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.(q) They did not bury him in the city of David, where the sepulchres of the kings were. 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

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

Jotham Regarded As a Connecting-link 2 Chronicles 27:2; 2 Chronicles 28:02 Chronicles 28:0 WHO was he? Whence did he spring? He comes so suddenly upon us: let us interrogate him. A few facts may lead to a great philosophy. Jotham was the son of a king, and the probable son of a high priest. Then he must be good! Let us take care how we hasten to conclusions. We may be right, or we may be wrong; but let us take great care of the basis oh which our reasoning is founded. His father's name was... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:5-8

Both Syrians and Israelites shall become instruments in the hand of God when the Lord will punish Judah. And in the private afflictions of God's people the severity of our trials is doubly increased when it comes from a quarter where we least expected. When a man's foes shall be they of his own household. read more
