<p class="tab-1">This chapter is wholly taken up with the reign of Ahaz; and we have quite enough of it, unless it were better. He had a good father, and a better son, and yet was himself one of the worst of the kings of Judah. I. He was a notorious idolater, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.1-2Kgs.16.4" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.16.1-2Kgs.16.4">2 Kgs. 16:1-4</a>. II. With the treasures of the temple, as well as his own, he hired the king of Assyria to invade Syria and Israel, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.5-2Kgs.16.9" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.16.5-2Kgs.16.9">2 Kgs. 16:5-9</a>. III. He took pattern from an idol’s altar which he saw at Damascus for a new altar in God’s temple, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.10-2Kgs.16.16" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.16.10-2Kgs.16.16">2 Kgs. 16:10-16</a>. IV. He abused and embezzled the furniture of the temple, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.17,2Kgs.16.18" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.16.17,2Kgs.16.18"><span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.17">2 Kgs. 16:17</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.18">18</span></a>. And so his story ends, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.19,2Kgs.16.20" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.16.19,2Kgs.16.20"><span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.19">2 Kgs. 16:19</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.16.20">20</span></a>.</p>
