Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Ahaz king of Israel - An instance of the lax use of the word "Israel" Ch2 12:6; Ch2 21:2. It is simply equivalent to "king of Judah."
He made Judah naked - literally, "he had caused licentiousness in Judah" - i. e. he had allowed Judah to break loose from all restraints of true religion, and to turn to any idolatry that they preferred Ch2 28:2-4. In this and in the following expression there is implied an apostasy resembling the unfaithfulness of a wife. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Low - As high as they were before in wealth and power. They that will not humble themselves under the word of God will be humbled by his judgments. Naked - Taking away their ornament and their defence and strength, namely their treasures, which he sent to the Assyrian to no purpose; their frontier towns, and other strong holds, which by his folly and wickedness were lost; their religion, and the Divine protection, which was their great and only firm security. |
