2 Chronicles 28:3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. The worship of Moloch was one of the most horrible that can be imagined. A brazen image was made terribly hot, and then children were thrust into its...

2 Chronicles 28:4

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. He could not do enough of it; so many trees, so many altars. There are some men who use every opportunity for sin, with a diligence which should bring the blush into the face of Christians, who are not as diligent in obeying as these men are in...

2 Chronicles 28:4

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. According to the command of God, there was to be but one altar, and that one was to be at Jerusalem; but these people multiplied their altars; there could not be a high place but they must have an idol shrine set up upon it.

2 Chronicles 28:5

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria,.... Whose name was Rezin, 2 Kings 16:5, though that is an after expedition to this, which is there related. The Lord is called the God of Ahaz, because he was so of right; he had dominion over him, and ought to have been worshipped by him; and, besides, he was so by...

Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus.

Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus.

2 Chronicles 28:6

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

For Pekah son of Remaliah,.... Who was at this time king of Israel: slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; a great slaughter to be made at one time, and of valiant men, but not so great as that in 2 Chronicles 13:17, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers; this was not a reason with...

2 Chronicles 28:6-11

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

2 Chronicles 28:7

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son,.... Who therefore must have escaped being burnt in the valley of Hinnom, or only was caused to pass through the fire there, 2 Chronicles 28:3, and Azrikam the governor of the house; steward or treasurer in the king's house, in the same office as Sheban was, Isaiah 22:15 and Elkanah...

2 Chronicles 28:8

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And the children of Israel carried captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters,.... Which was a very large and unusual number to be carried captive; but having made such a slaughter of the men, and the rest being intimidated thereby, it was the more easily done: and took away also much spoil from them; wealth and...

2 Chronicles 28:9

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded,.... Not the same that was in the time of Asa, 2 Chronicles 15:1, and he went out before the host that came to Samaria; that was coming thither; he went out of Samaria to meet them: and said unto them, behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them...

2 Chronicles 28:10

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you,.... As seemed by taking and bringing captive such a number of them, contrary to the law, Leviticus 25:39 but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the Lord your God? for which they deserved to be chastised as well as their...

2 Chronicles 28:11

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Now hear me therefore,.... And not only hear, but be obedient: and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken of your brethren; their women, sons and daughters, even all of them, the whole 200,000: for the fierce wrath of God is upon you; hangs over your heads, and will fall upon you, unless you do this.

2 Chronicles 28:13

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither,.... That is, into Samaria, near which it seems they now were: for whereas we have offended against the Lord already; by exceeding in their cruelty against their brethren of Judah, as well as by worshipping the calves: ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: by making...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and the congregation.
