James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:22

KING AHAZ‘This is that king Ahaz.’ 2 Chronicles 28:22 I. This is good King Hezekiah’s father— a man who grieves the heart of God and who sets His commandments at defiance.—Strange that such a parent should have such a child! It is a lesson to me that nothing is too hard for my Lord. What a terrible chapter! The good of the previous reign was scattered to the winds. The worst atrocities of heathenism were imported into Israel. Babes flung into the brazen caldrons, amid the noise of the horrid... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:5

The Lord his God: God was his God, though not by covenant and grace, and special relation, which Ahaz had renounced, yet by his sovereign dominion over him; for God did not forfeit his right by Ahaz’s denying it. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:16

The kings of Assyria, i.e. the king; the plural number for the singular; either, 1. Because he was a great king and a king of kings; as the elephant, or, as others think, the crocodile, is called behemoth, which signifies beasts, Job 40:0, because of his vast bulk and eminency above other beasts. Or, 2. Because he wrote to divers of the kings or great princes, who may be called kings in a more general signification of the word, and indeed are so called, Isaiah 10:8, Are not my princes... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:19

He made Judah naked; taking away their ornament and their defence and strength, to wit, their treasures, which he sent to the Assyrian to no purpose; their frontier towns, and other strong holds, which by his folly and wickedness were lost; their religion, and the Divine protection, which was their great and only firm security, which by his sins he forfeited. See Poole "Exodus 32:25". read more
