THE MESSAGE
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah. Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn't behave in the eyes of his God ; he wasn't at all like his ancestor David. Instead he followed in the track of the kings of Israel. He even indulged in the outrageous practice of "passing his son through the fire"—a truly abominable act he picked up from the pagans God had earlier thrown out of the country. He also participated in the activities of the neighborhood sex-and-religion shrines that flourished all over the place.

1In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, became king. 2Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of Yahweh his God, as David his father had done. 3But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel. 4He also sacrificed and burned incense on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

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.
