She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours
As in the times of Ahaz, who sent to Tiglathpileser, king of
Assyria, for help; and from whence he took the pattern of an
altar, and had one built like it at Jerusalem, and offered upon
it, ( 2
Kings 16:7-12 ) , captains and rulers clothed most
gorgeously;
or "perfectly" F17; with all kind of precious
garments, and of all manner of colours; not with blue only, but
purple, scarlet, crimson horsemen riding upon horses, all
of them desirable young men;
(See Gill on Ezekiel
23:6).
