2 Reyes 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 Reyes 18:16 In-Context

14 Entonces Ezequías rey de Judá envió a decir al rey de Asiria en Laquis: Yo he pecado; vuélvete de mí, y yo llevaré todo lo que me impusieres. Entonces el rey de Asiria impuso a Ezequías rey de Judá trescientos talentos de plata, y treinta talentos de oro.
15 Y Ezequías dio toda la plata que fue hallada en la Casa del SEÑOR, y en los tesoros de la casa real.
16 Entonces rompió Ezequías las puertas del templo del SEÑOR, y los quiciales que el mismo rey Ezequías había cubierto de oro , y lo dio al rey de Asiria.
17 Y el rey de Asiria envió a Tartán y a Rabsaris y a Rabsaces desde Laquis al rey Ezequías con un grande ejército contra Jerusalén; y subieron, y vinieron a Jerusalén. Y subieron, y vinieron, y pararon junto al conducto del estanque de arriba, que es en el camino de la heredad del lavador.
18 Y llamaron al rey, y salió a ellos Eliacim hijo de Hilcías, que era mayordomo, y Sebna escriba, y Joa hijo de Asaf, canciller.
