2 Chronicles 28
1. Ahaz, reigning wickedly, is greatly afflicted by the Syrians.
6. Judah, being captivated by the Israelites, is sent home by the counsel of Oded.
16. Ahaz sending for aid to Assyria, is not helped thereby,
22. In his distress he grows more idolatrous
26. He dying, Hezekiah succeeds him














As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz
This phrase introduces a summary of King Ahaz's reign, suggesting that what has been recorded in the preceding verses is not exhaustive. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which can also mean deeds or works. This implies a comprehensive account of Ahaz's actions, both good and bad. Historically, Ahaz was known for his idolatry and alliance with Assyria, which led to spiritual and political decline in Judah. His acts are a cautionary tale of the consequences of turning away from God.

along with his ways
The term "ways" in Hebrew is "derek," often used to describe one's conduct or lifestyle. Ahaz's "ways" were marked by unfaithfulness to God, as he adopted pagan practices and closed the doors of the temple. This highlights the importance of a leader's personal conduct and its impact on the nation. In a spiritual context, it serves as a reminder that one's "ways" should align with God's commandments to ensure His blessings.

and his words
The Hebrew word for "words" is "dabar," which can also mean speech or matter. This suggests that Ahaz's words, possibly his decrees or proclamations, were significant enough to be recorded. Words have power, and in Ahaz's case, they likely contributed to the spiritual decline of Judah. This emphasizes the biblical principle that leaders are accountable for their words, which can either uplift or lead astray.

they are indeed written
The phrase "they are indeed written" underscores the reliability and permanence of the historical record. The use of the Hebrew word "kathab" for "written" indicates that these accounts were documented with care and authority. This serves as a reminder of the importance of recording history accurately, as it provides lessons for future generations.

in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel
This refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of both Judah and Israel. While this specific book is not part of the biblical canon, it is referenced multiple times in the Old Testament, indicating its historical significance. The mention of this book highlights the interconnectedness of the biblical narrative and the broader historical context of the region. It serves as a testament to the meticulous documentation of Israel's history, which provides valuable insights into God's dealings with His people.

CLOSING NOTICES (2Chronicles 28:26-27. Comp. 2Kings 16:19-20).

(26) Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways.--The chronicler has varied the usual formula. (See chapter 25:26, 26:7, &c., and comp. 2Kings 16:19.)

But (for) they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel.--Wanting in Kings. (See Note on chaps, 21:20, 26:23.) Thenius supposes that this statement is founded either upon mistake, or upon zeal for the Law. But why not upon a written authority?

Verse 26. - The book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Parallel (ver. 19), "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah."
