Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. Jotham began to reign in the second of Pekah, and he reigned sixteen years, and therefore his last year would fall in the eighteenth of Pekah; but as his first year might be at the beginning of the second of Pekah, his last was towards the end of the seventeenth of Pekah's, as here; see 2 Kings 15:32.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVI

Ahaz begins to reign, acts wickedly, and restores idolatry in

Judea, 1-4.

Rezin, king of Syria, besieges Jerusalem, but cannot take it;

he takes Elath, and drives the Jews thence, 5, 6.

Ahaz hires Tiglath-pileser against the king of Syria and the

king of Israel, and gives him the silver and gold that were

found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, 7, 8.

Tiglath-pileser takes Damascus and slays Rezin, 9.

Ahaz goes to meet him at Damascus: sees an altar there, a

pattern of which he sends to Urijah, the priest; and orders

him to make one like it, which he does, 10-15.

He makes several alterations in the temple; dies; and Hezekiah

his son reigns in his stead, 16-20.
