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.

22 In the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD, this same king Achaz.

23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Dammesek, which struck him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Yisra'el.

24 Achaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner of Yerushalayim.
