2 Chroniques 28:1-6

Listen to 2 Chroniques 28:1-6
1 Achaz était âgé de vingt ans quand il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Il ne fit point ce qui est droit aux y eux de l'Éternel, comme David, son père.
2 Il suivit la voie des rois d'Israël; et il fit même des images de fonte pour les Baals.
3 Il fit des encensements dans la vallée du fils de Hinnom, et il brûla ses fils au feu, selon les abominations des nations que l'Éternel avait chassées devant les enfants d'Israël.
4 Il sacrifiait aussi et faisait des encensements dans les hauts lieux, sur les collines, et sous tout arbre verdoyant.
5 Et l'Éternel son Dieu le livra entre les mains du roi de Syrie; et les Syriens le battirent et lui prirent un grand nombre de prisonniers, qu'ils emmenèrent à Damas. Il fut aussi livré entre les mains du roi d'Israël, qui lui fit essuyer une grande défaite.
6 Car Pékach, fils de Rémalia, tua en un seul jour, en Juda, cent vingt mille hommes, tous vaillants hommes, parce qu'ils avaient abandonné l'Éternel, le Dieu de leurs pères.

2 Chroniques 28:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 28

This chapter contains the reign of Ahaz, and gives an account of the idolatry he was guilty of, 2Ch 28:1-4, what calamities came upon him and his people, being delivered up into the hands of the kings of Syria and Israel, who slew many, and carried others captives, 2Ch 28:5-8, though they that were taken captive by Israel, at the admonition of a prophet, were sent back again, 2Ch 28:9-15, how also he was distressed by the Edomites and Philistines, and not helped by the king of Assyria, he sent for and made presents to, 2Ch 28:16-21 and yet went into more and greater idolatries, 2Ch 28:22-25, and the chapter is concluded with his death and burial, 2Ch 28:26,27.

These verses are much the same with 2Ki 16:2-4, only in 2Ch 28:2 it is said,

\\he made also molten images for Baalim\\; the several Baals or idols of the nations round about, as well as served Jeroboam's calves; see Jud 2:11, and he is said in 2Ch 28:3,

\\to burn incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom\\; to Molech, the god of the Ammonites, who was worshipped there. \\See Gill on "2Ki 16:2"\\ \\See Gill on "2Ki 16:3"\\ \\See Gill on "2Ki 16:4"\\ 19724-950128-0841-2Ch28.2
