2 Reyes 16:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 16:3

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel.
&c.] Worshipping the calves as they did; which, as it was contrary to the religious sentiments in which he was educated, so against his political interest, which was the only, or at least the principal thing, which swayed with the kings of Israel to continue that idolatry:

yea, and made his son to pass through the fire;
between two fires to Molech, by way of lustration; which might be true of Hezekiah his son, and others of his sons, for he had more he burnt with fire, as appears from ( 2 Chronicles 28:3 ) , both ways were used in that sort of idolatry, (See Gill on Leviticus 18:21),

according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out
from before the children of Israel;
the old Canaanites; so the Carthaginians, a colony of the Phoenicians, used in time of calamity to offer human sacrifices, and even their children, to appease their deities F12. Theodoret says, he had seen in some cities, in his time, piles kindled once a year, over which not only boys, but men, would leap, and infants were carried by their mothers through the flames; which seemed to be an expiation or purgation, and which he takes to be the same with the sin of Ahaz.

2 Reyes 16:3 In-Context

1 Acaz gobierna en Jud谩
Acaz, hijo de Jotam, comenz贸 a gobernar Jud谩 durante el a帽o diecisiete del reinado de Peka en Israel.
2 Acaz ten铆a veinte a帽os cuando subi贸 al trono y rein贸 en Jerusal茅n diecis茅is a帽os. 脡l no hizo lo que era agradable a los ojos del Se帽or
su Dios, como s铆 lo hab铆a hecho su antepasado David.
3 En cambio, sigui贸 el ejemplo de los reyes de Israel, hasta sacrific贸 a su propio hijo en el fuego.
De esta manera, sigui贸 las pr谩cticas detestables de las naciones paganas que el Se帽or
hab铆a expulsado de la tierra del paso de los israelitas.
4 Ofreci贸 sacrificios y quem贸 incienso en los santuarios paganos, en las colinas y debajo de todo 谩rbol frondoso.
5 Entonces el rey Rez铆n de Aram y el rey Peka de Israel subieron hacia Jerusal茅n para atacarla. Sitiaron a Acaz pero no pudieron vencerlo.
