2 Reyes 16:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 16:18

And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the
house
Used on the sabbath day, either for the people to sit under to hear the law explained by the priests; or for the course of the priests to be in, that went out that day, to give way to the course that entered, which yet did not depart from the temple till evening; or rather for the king himself to sit under, while attending the temple service of that day, and might be the cover of the scaffold, ( 2 Chronicles 6:13 ) and be very rich cloth of gold; and therefore he took it away for the king of Assyria, or to signify that he should not frequent the place any more: and hence it follows,

and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the Lord;
the way which led from the king's palace to it, he turned it a round about way, that it might not be discerned there was a way from the one to the other: and this he did

for the king of Assyria;
to gratify him, that he might from hence conclude that he had wholly relinquished the worship of God in the temple, and should cleave to the gods of Damascus and Syria; or for fear of him, that he might not see the way into the temple, and take away the vessels; or find him, should he be obliged to hide himself there, when in danger by him.

2 Reyes 16:18 In-Context

16 Y el sacerdote Ur铆as hizo conforme a todo lo que el rey Acaz le hab铆a ordenado.
17 Entonces el rey Acaz cort贸 los bordes de las basas, y quit贸 de ellas la pila; tambi茅n baj贸 el mar de sobre los bueyes de bronce que estaban debajo de 茅l y lo puso sobre un enlosado de piedra.
18 Y el p贸rtico para el d铆a de reposo, que hab铆an edificado en la casa, y la entrada exterior del rey, los quit贸 de la casa del SE脩OR a causa del rey de Asiria.
19 Los dem谩s hechos de Acaz, lo que hizo, 驴no est谩n escritos en el libro de las Cr贸nicas de los reyes de Jud谩?
20 Y durmi贸 Acaz con sus padres, y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David; y su hijo Ezequ铆as rein贸 en su lugar.
