2 Chronicles 28:4 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Chronicles 28:4

2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made ^amolded images for ^bthe Baals.

3 He burned incense in ^athe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned ^bhis children in the ^cfire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had ^dcast out before the children of Israel.

4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the¹ high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

Syria and Israel Defeat Judah

5 Therefore ^athe Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They ^bdefeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter.

6 For ^aPekah the son of Remaliah killed one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all valiant men, ^bbecause they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.

7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the officer over the house, and Elkanah who was second to the king.

8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their ^abrethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters; and they also took away much¹ spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

AHAZ, REIGNING WICKEDLY, IS AFFLICTED BY THE SYRIANS. (2Ch. 28:1-21)

Ahaz was twenty years old—(See on II Kings 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 practised by the Canaanites.
