2 Chronicles 28:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:22

And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more
against the Lord
By increasing his idolatries, as appears by what he did, in imitation of what he saw at Damascus, where he had an interview with the king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 16:10-16 )

this is that King Ahaz;
that monster of iniquity, than whom there was none worse, nor any so bad, of all the kings of Judah.

2 Chronicles 28:22 In-Context

20 So King Tilgath-pilneser of Assyria came against him, and oppressed him instead of strengthening him.

21 For Ahaz plundered the house of the Lord and the houses of the king and of the officials, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria; but it did not help him.

22 In the time of his distress he became yet more faithless to the Lord—this same King Ahaz.

23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had defeated him, and said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

24 Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, and cut in pieces the utensils of the house of God. He shut up the doors of the house of the Lord and made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
