2 Reis 18:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 18:16

At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of
the temple of the Lord
The plates of gold with which they were covered; or scraped off the gold from them, as the Targum interprets it:

and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid:
or the posts, as the Targum, the lintel or side posts of the doors of the temple; which though covered in Solomon's time, the gold was worn off, or had been taken off by Ahaz, but was renewed by Hezekiah; and who, in this time of distress, thought he might take it off again, no doubt with a full purpose to replace it, when he should be able. This is one of the three things the Talmudic writers F19 disapprove of in Hezekiah:

and gave it to the king of Assyria;
to make up the thirty talents of gold he demanded.

2 Reis 18:16 In-Context

14 Então Ezequias, rei de Judá, enviou esta mensagem ao rei da Assíria, em Laquis: “Cometi um erro. Para de atacar-me, e eu pagarei tudo o que exigires”. O rei da Assíria cobrou de Ezequias, rei de Judá, dez toneladas e meia de prata e um mil e cinquenta quilos de ouro.
15 Assim, Ezequias lhes deu toda a prata que se encontrou no templo e na tesouraria do palácio real.
16 Nessa ocasião Ezequias, rei de Judá, retirou o ouro com que havia coberto as portas e os batentes do templo do SENHOR e o deu ao rei da Assíria.
17 De Laquis o rei da Assíria enviou ao rei Ezequias, em Jerusalém, seu general, seu oficial principal e seu comandante de campo com um grande exército. Eles subiram a Jerusalém e pararam no aqueduto do açude superior, na estrada que leva ao campo do Lavandeiro.
18 Eles chamaram pelo rei; e o administrador do palácio, Eliaquim, filho de Hilquias, o secretário Sebna e o arquivista real Joá, filho de Asafe, foram ao seu encontro.
