2 Re 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 Re 18:16 In-Context

14 Ed Ezechia, re di Giuda, mandò a dire al re d’Assiria a Lakis: "Ho mancato; ritirati da me, ed io mi sottometterò a tutto quello che m’imporrai". E il re d’Assiria impose ad Ezechia, re di Giuda, trecento talenti d’argento e trenta talenti d’oro.
15 Ezechia diede tutto l’argento che si trovava nella casa dell’Eterno, e nei tesori della casa del re.
16 E fu allora che Ezechia, re di Giuda, staccò dalle porte del tempio dell’Eterno e dagli stipiti le lame d’oro di cui egli stesso li avea ricoperti, e le diede al re d’Assiria.
17 E il re d’Assiria mandò ad Ezechia da Lakis a Gerusalemme, Tartan, Rabsaris e Rabshaké con un grande esercito. Essi salirono e giunsero a Gerusalemme. E, come furon giunti, vennero a fermarsi presso l’acquedotto dello stagno superiore, che è sulla strada del campo del lavator di panni.
18 Chiamarono il re; ed Eliakim, figliuolo di Hilkia, prefetto del palazzo, si recò da loro con Scebna, il segretario e Joah figliuolo di Asaf, l’archivista.
