19. the rest of the acts of Ahaz] The Chronicler gives us somewhat more detail concerning the doings of this king. ‘He gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut them in pieces: he shut up the doors of the house of the Lord, and made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem, and in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.’ Some part of this conduct may have been to satisfy the demands of the conqueror to whom he had become a vassal; but much of it was due to the love for foreign idolatry, for Baal and Rimmon and Moloch and the excesses which attended on their worship.

Vers. 19, 20. The death of Ahaz. The writer terminates his account of the reign of Ahaz with his usual formulae, which in this instance are wholly colorless. Ahaz"s acts were written in the book of the chronicles of the kings; he died, and was buried with his fathers; Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his stead. This is all that he thinks it needful to say.
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? The writer of Chronicles adds some important facts not found in the narrative of Kings. Among them are the following:

(1) The complete defeat of Ahaz by Pekah, who "smote him with a great slaughter", (2Ch_28:5) killing a hundred and twenty thousand of his soldiers, and carrying Off two hundred thousand captives, men, women, and children; (2Ch_28:8) these captives were, however, afterwards restored (ver. 15).
(2) His defeat by the Syrians (ver. 5). This is, perhaps, implied in 2Ki_16:6; but it is not expressly stated.
(3) His defeat by the Edomites, who invaded his land, and made a largo number of prisoners. (2Ch_28:17)
(4) The conquest in his reign of a considerable portion of Southern Judaea by the Philistines (ver. 18).
(5) The fact that Ahaz at one time in his life adopted the Syrian worship, and "sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which smote him" (ver. 23).
(6) The fact that in his latter years he shut up the temple (ver. 24), closing the doors of the porch, (2Ch_29:7) extinguishing the lamps, (2Ch_29:7) and putting an end to the burning of incense and the offering of sacrifice.
(7) The fact that, not content with the previously existing high places, he set up a number of new ones, so that there should be a "high place" in every several city. (2Ch_28:25) The religious condition of Judaea can scarcely have been worse in the worst time of Manasseh or Amon.

16:19 The rest of the events in Ahaz’s reign: In further rejection of the Lord, Ahaz removed the utensils from the Temple “and broke them into pieces” (2 Chr 28:24). He then closed the Temple and discontinued services there, instead promoting paganism throughout the land (2 Chr 28:25; 29:7). In redefining the worship of Judah so completely, his apostasy was similar to that of Jeroboam I (cp. 2 Kgs 3:3; 13:2; 16:2-4; 17:21; 1 Kgs 12:25-33; 16:26; 22:52)
