And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Commentary

1-4. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign,.... These verses are much the same with Kg2 16:2 , only in Ch2 28:2 it is said : he made also molten images for Baalim; the several Baals or idols of the nations round about, as well as served Jeroboam's calves; see Jdg 2:11 , and he is said in Ch2 28:3 , to burn incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom; to Molech, the god of the Ammonites, who was worshipped there. See Gill on Kg2 16:2 , Kg2 16:3 , Kg2 16:4 . Next: 2 Chronicles Chapter 28 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: 2 Chronicles:...
