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

2 Chronicles 28:2For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. The ways of the kings of IsraelIsrael was for the most part more powerful, wealthy, and cultured than Judah. When Ahaz came to the throne as a mere youth, Pekah was apparently in the prime of life and the zenith of power. He is no inapt symbol of what the modern tempter at any rate desires to appear: the showy, pretentious man of the world, who parades his knowledge of life, and impresses the inexperienced youth with his... read more

2 Chronicles 28:9A prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded. The story of the prophet OdedProbably few will recognise this name. It is associated with no book of perpetual instruction, with no course of heroic action. No mighty deeds like those of Elijah or Elisha adorn his story; no length of stately service like that of Daniel is rendered by him. He is a man of one achievement; his prophecy only an argument to brotherly kindness and affection, and yet few men have ever rendered a... read more

2 Chronicles 28:14Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign.The mysterious in human developmentThe growth of humanity is not after a horticultural manner. We cannot say that a good tree will have good off-shoots, if we are speaking of humanity. The holiest father may have a murderer for his son. The sweetest mother may die of a broken heart. Only a foolish criticism is reckless in fixing definite responsibilities in this matter of the nurture and culture of children. The Lord rebukes us... read more

2 Chronicles 28:19For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel.The sin of AhazI. I would draw attention to some special points in the history of ahaz.1. The king himself was peculiarly the transgressor.2. The people also were transgressors.3. Mark the special sins enumerated in the history.(1) There was idolatry.(2) He substituted an altar of a strange pattern for the altar of the Lord God of hosts.(3) He trusted in an arm of flesh (verses 16 and 21).(4) He attempted to gain... read more

2 Chronicles 28:22-23And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord. When affliction may be said to have failed of its objectI. I suppose that you have set your heart upon some cherished design--that you have dwelt upon it to such a degree as to neglect for it many social duties and all your thoughts of God. You have missed attaining it, and are deeply disappointed. If you have not learned thenceforward to strive more soberly, to plant and sow, and build and labour,... read more

2 Chronicles 28:23Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them. Destructive substitutesWe may not try to substitute one god for another, or to patch out our tattered theology by borrowing and misappropriating the ideas of the enemy. There is one fountain at which we may draw and draw evermore, and that is the Bible. We never knew any man oppose the Bible who had really comprehended its inner meaning. No man can doubt the inspiration of the Bible who has... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1

2Ch 28:1 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 the sight of the LORD, like David his father: Ver. 1. Ahaz was twenty years old. ] And reigned but sixteen years; and yet when he died, Hezekiah his son was twenty-five years old. 2Ch 29:1 Some a say this was extraordinary, and render this reason: Ahaz so young a father, as Elizabeth an old mother, should have hoped in Emmanuel, born of a virgin.... read more

2Ch 28:2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. Ver. 2. For hs walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. ] Yea, he outdid them in wickedness. See on 2 Kings 16:3-4 . Sundry holy prophets, as Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, &c., declaimed earnestly against his abominable practices, and proclaimed hell-fire in case he repented not; but he either turned the deaf ear to them, or, if he gave them the hearing, yet he heeded them not; luporum instar,... read more
