2 Chronicles 28:26,27 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

The mind feels relief when arriving at the close of such an history and such a character. I cannot dismiss the relation of this impious prince's life without desiring the Reader to compare it with the seventh chapter of the prophecy of Isaiah; in the perusal of which he will discover, not only the graciousness of the Lord in sending to his people, even during the reign of so wicked a prince, a renewed instance of his love; but opening to the views of the faithful in Judah blessed intimations of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It forms a most precious consolation to everyone to consider that at a time when sin abounded grace did much more abound; for never during the Old Testament days were there afforded clearer promises concerning Jesus than the prophecy of Isaiah contained; and delivered at a time when the most daring rebellion against God marked both Israel and Judah.

2 Chronicles 28:26-27

26 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
