Commentary

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 .
