Contextual Overview

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them,.... As lustful women, on the sight of the pictures of men, fall in love with them, and are mad after them; such a vehement desire after the idols of the Chaldeans prevailed, upon seeing their images:

and sent messengers unto them in Chaldea; to make alliances with the Chaldeans, and to have their idols, and worship them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sending of “messengers” refers to the act of Ahaz 2 Kings 16:7.
