This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch 28:1-21. Ahaz, reigning wickedly, is afflicted by the Syrians.
Ahaz was twenty years old - (See on 2Ki 16:1-4). This prince, discarding the principles and example of his excellent father, early betrayed a strong bias to idolatry. He ruled with an arbitrary and absolute authority, and not as a theocratic sovereign: he not only forsook the temple of God, but embraced first the symbolic worship established in the sister kingdom, and afterwards the gross idolatry practiced by the Canaanites.
