Clementine Latin Vulgate

Nehemiæ 28:1

Convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israël, duces tribuum, et præpositos turmarum, qui ministrabant regi : tribunos quoque et centuriones, et qui præerant substantiæ et possessionibus regis, filiosque suos cum eunuchis, et potentes, et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 1-4. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign,.... These verses are much the same with 2 Kings 16:2, only in 2 Chronicles 28:2 it is said,

he made also molten images for Baalim; the several Baals or idols of the nations round about, as well as served Jeroboam's calves; see Judges 2:11, and he is said in 2 Chronicles 28:3,

to burn incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom; to Molech, the god of the Ammonites, who was worshipped there.

2 Chronicles 28:3- : 2 Chronicles 28:3- : 2 Chronicles 28:3- :

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This chapter is supplemental in character, The writer seems to assume that the narrative of Kings (marginal reference) is known, and is mainly anxious to add points which the author of that narrative has omitted.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVIII

Ahaz succeeds his father Jotham, and reigns wickedly for

sixteen years, 1.

He restores idolatry in its grossest forms, 2-4;

and is delivered Into the hands of the kings of Israel and

Syria, 5.

Pekah slays one hundred and twenty thousand Jews in one day,

and carries away captive two hundred thousand of the people,

whom, at the instance of Oded the prophet, they restore to

liberty, and send home, clothed and fed, 6-15.

Ahaz sends to the king of Assyria for help against the

Edomites, Philistines, c., from whom he receives no effectual

succour, 16-21.

He sins yet more, spoils and shuts up the temple of God, and

propagates idolatry throughout the land, 22-25.

A reference to has acts, his death, and burial, 26, 27.
