CHAP. XXVIII.

      This chapter is the history of the reign of Ahaz the son of Jotham; a bad reign it was, and which helped to augment the fierce anger of the Lord. We have here, I. His great wickedness (2 Chronicles 28:1-4). II. The trouble he brought himself into by it (2 Chronicles 28:5-8). III. The reproof which God sent by a prophet to the army of Israel for trampling upon their brethren of Judah, and the obedient ear they gave to that reproof (2 Chronicles 28:9-15). IV. The many calamities that followed to Ahaz and his people (2 Chronicles 28:16-21). V. The continuance of his idolatry notwithstanding (2 Chronicles 28:22-25), and so his story ends (2 Chronicles 28:26-27).
