2 Reyes 22:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:17

Because they have forsaken me
My worship, as the Targum; his word and ordinances:

and have burnt incense unto other gods;
to Baal, to the host of heaven, and other Heathen deities:

that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands:
their idols of wood, stone, gold, and silver, which their hands had made, to worship; than which nothing was more provoking to God:

therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not
be quenched;
the decree for the destruction of Jerusalem was gone forth, and not to be called back; the execution of it could not be stopped or hindered by cries, prayers, entreaties, or otherwise; this wrath of God was an emblem of the unquenchable fire of hell, ( Matthew 3:12 ) ( Mark 9:44 ) .

2 Reyes 22:17 In-Context

15 Huldá les contestó: «Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: “Díganle al que los ha enviado
16 que yo, el SEÑOR, les advierto: ‘Voy a enviar desgracia sobre este lugar y sus habitantes, según todo lo que dice el libro que ha leído el rey de Judá.
17 Ellos me han abandonado; han quemado incienso a otros dioses y me han provocado a ira con todos sus ídolos. Por eso mi ira arde contra este lugar, y no se apagará’.
18 Pero al rey de Judá, que los envió para consultarme, díganle que en lo que atañe a las palabras que él ha oído, yo, el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, afirmo:
19 ‘Como te has conmovido y humillado ante el SEÑOR al escuchar lo que he anunciado contra este lugar y sus habitantes, que serían asolados y malditos; y como te has rasgado las vestiduras y has llorado en mi presencia, yo te he escuchado. Yo, el SEÑOR, lo afirmo.
