2 Crónicas 28:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:23

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him,
&c.] As he foolishly imagined, that they might do him no more hurt; as it is said of the Indians, that they worship the devil, that he may not hurt them; but that a king of Judah should do this is monstrous stupidity; rather therefore the meaning may be, that he worshipped the gods of those that smote him, those of the men or soldiers of Damascus


FOOTNOTES:

F13 see ( 2 Chronicles 28:5 ) for the Spirit of God would never ascribe the smiting of him to idols, though he himself might;

and he said, because the gods of the kings of Syria help them;
which looks as if this was before Damascus was taken by the king of Assyria, and when Rezin king of Syria prevailed over Ahaz:

therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me;
against the Edomites and Philistines; wherefore rather to this, his idolatry, respect is had in ( 2 Chronicles 28:22 ) ,

but they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel;
the worship of them was the cause of all the calamities that came upon that part of Israel of which he was king.


F13 So Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

21 Aunque despoj贸 Acaz la Casa del SE脩OR, y la casa real, y las de los pr铆ncipes, para dar al rey de los asirios, con todo eso 茅l no le ayud贸
22 Adem谩s el rey Acaz en el tiempo que aquel le apuraba, a帽adi贸 prevaricaci贸n contra el SE脩OR
23 porque sacrific贸 a los dioses de Damasco que le hab铆an herido, y dijo: Pues que los dioses de los reyes de Siria les ayudan, yo tambi茅n sacrificar茅 a ellos para que me ayuden; habiendo sido 茅stos su ruina, y la de todo Israel
24 A m谩s de eso recogi贸 Acaz los vasos de la Casa de Dios, y los quebr贸, y cerr贸 las puertas de la Casa del SE脩OR, y se hizo altares en Jerusal茅n en todos los rincones
25 Hizo tambi茅n lugares altos en todas las ciudades de Jud谩, para quemar incienso a los dioses ajenos, provocando a ira al SE脩OR Dios de sus padres
