HIS IDOLATRY IN HIS DISTRESS. (Ch2 28:22-27)
in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord--This infatuated king surrendered himself to the influence of idolatry and exerted his royal authority to extend it, with the intensity of a passion--with the ignorance and servile fear of a heathen (Ch2 28:23) and a ruthless defiance of God (see on Kg2 16:10-20). |

| That Ahaz - That monster and reproach of mankind, that unteachable and incorrigible prince, whom even grievous afflictions made worse, which commonly make men better. This is he, whose name deserves to be remembered and detested for ever. |
10 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] went [03212] to Damascus [01834] to meet [07125] Tiglathpileser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and saw [07200] an altar [04196] that was at Damascus [01834]: and king [04428] Ahaz [0271] sent [07971] to Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] the fashion [01823] of the altar [04196], and the pattern [08403] of it, according to all the workmanship [04639] thereof.
11 And Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] built [01129] an altar [04196] according to all that king [04428] Ahaz [0271] had sent [07971] from Damascus [01834]: so Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] made [06213] it against king [04428] Ahaz [0271] came [0935] from Damascus [01834].
12 And when the king [04428] was come [0935] from Damascus [01834], the king [04428] saw [07200] the altar [04196]: and the king [04428] approached [07126] to the altar [04196], and offered [05927] thereon.
13 And he burnt [06999] his burnt offering [05930] and his meat offering [04503], and poured [05258] his drink offering [05262], and sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] of his peace offerings [08002], upon the altar [04196].
14 And he brought [07126] also the brasen [05178] altar [04196], which was before [06440] the LORD [03068], from the forefront [06440] of the house [01004], from between the altar [04196] and the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and put [05414] it on the north [06828] side [03409] of the altar [04196].
15 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] commanded [06680] Urijah [0223] the priest [03548], saying [0559], Upon the great [01419] altar [04196] burn [06999] the morning [01242] burnt offering [05930], and the evening [06153] meat offering [04503], and the king's [04428] burnt sacrifice [05930], and his meat offering [04503], with the burnt offering [05930] of all the people [05971] of the land [0776], and their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262]; and sprinkle [02236] upon it all the blood [01818] of the burnt offering [05930], and all the blood [01818] of the sacrifice [02077]: and the brasen [05178] altar [04196] shall be for me to enquire [01239] by.
16 Thus did [06213] Urijah [0223] the priest [03548], according to all that king [04428] Ahaz [0271] commanded [06680].
17 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] cut off [07112] the borders [04526] of the bases [04350], and removed [05493] the laver [03595] from off them; and took down [03381] the sea [03220] from off the brasen [05178] oxen [01241] that were under it, and put [05414] it upon a pavement [04837] of stones [068].
18 And the covert [04329] [04329] for the sabbath [07676] that they had built [01129] in the house [01004], and the king's [04428] entry [03996] without [02435], turned [05437] he from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] for [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].
19 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Ahaz [0271] which he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]?
20 And Ahaz [0271] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Hezekiah [02396] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
23 For he sacrificed [02076] unto the gods [0430] of Damascus [01834], which smote [05221] him: and he said [0559], Because the gods [0430] of the kings [04428] of Syria [0758] help [05826] them, therefore will I sacrifice [02076] to them, that they may help [05826] me. But they were the ruin [03782] of him, and of all Israel [03478].
22 And in the time [06256] of his distress [06887] did he trespass [04603] yet more [03254] against the LORD [03068]: this is that king [04428] Ahaz [0271].
23 For he sacrificed [02076] unto the gods [0430] of Damascus [01834], which smote [05221] him: and he said [0559], Because the gods [0430] of the kings [04428] of Syria [0758] help [05826] them, therefore will I sacrifice [02076] to them, that they may help [05826] me. But they were the ruin [03782] of him, and of all Israel [03478].
24 And Ahaz [0271] gathered together [0622] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and cut in pieces [07112] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and shut up [05462] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and he made [06213] him altars [04196] in every corner [06438] of Jerusalem [03389].
25 And in every several city [05892] of Judah [03063] he made [06213] high places [01116] to burn incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and provoked to anger [03707] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of his fathers [01].
26 Now the rest [03499] of his acts [01697] and of all his ways [01870], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] and Israel [03478].
27 And Ahaz [0271] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892], even in Jerusalem [03389]: but they brought [0935] him not into the sepulchres [06913] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]: and Hezekiah [03169] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
