Contextual Overview

16At that time the Edomites came again and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners. So King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help. 18 The Philistines also robbed the towns in the western hills and in southern Judah. They captured the towns of Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo, and the villages around them. Then the Philistines lived in those towns. 19 The Lord brought trouble on Judah because Ahaz their king led the people of Judah to sin, and he was unfaithful to the Lord . 20 Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz, but he gave Ahaz trouble instead of help. 21 Ahaz took some valuable things from the Temple of the Lord , from the palace, and from the princes, and he gave them to the king of Assyria, but it did not help. 22 During Ahaz's troubles he was even more unfaithful to the Lord . 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of the people of Damascus, who had defeated him. He thought, "The gods of the kings of Aram helped them. If I offer sacrifices to them, they will help me also." But this brought ruin to Ahaz and all Israel. 24 Ahaz gathered the things from the Temple of God and broke them into pieces. Then he closed the doors of the Temple of the Lord . He made altars and put them on every street corner in Jerusalem. 25 In every town in Judah, Ahaz made places for burning sacrifices to worship other gods. So he made the Lord , the God of his ancestors, very angry. 26 The other things Ahaz did as king, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For again the Edomites had come,.... As in the days of Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 20:10,

and smitten Judah, and carried away captives; taking the advantage of the weak and low condition Ahaz was in, and which was the reason of his sending to the king of Assyria.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Edomites took advantage of the reverses of Ahaz, and were perhaps in league with Rezin (see 2 Kings 16:6 note). The pitilessness of Edom, and her readiness to turn against Judah in any severe distress, is noticed and sternly rebuked by the prophets (Amos 1:11; Ezekiel 35:5; Obadiah 1:10-14, etc.).
