Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, like King Ahaz, may be seeking help or guidance from sources other than God, and how can I turn back to Him?
- In what ways can I, like the biblical writers, trust in the sufficiency of God's Word and the accounts that He has given us, rather than seeking additional information or sources?

Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 16:19
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?] Some others are written in the canonical book of Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 16:19
(19) Which he did.—Some MSS., and the LXX., Syriac, and Arabic have the usual formula, “and all which he did.”
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 16:19
19, 20. Death of Ahaz. Hezekiah king of Judah (2 Chronicles 28:26-27) 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. in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah] In 2 Chronicles 28:26 we are referred to the record of Israel as well as of Judah, and the war with Pekah would no doubt form a large chapter in the history of the former kingdom.
