John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?] Some others are written in the canonical book of Chronicles, (<142801>2 Chronicles 28:1) and were, it is highly probable, in the annals of the kings of Judah, now lost.”

“16:19 The rest of the events in Ahaz’s reign: In further rejection of the Lord, Ahaz removed the utensils from the Temple “and broke them into pieces” (2 Chr 28:24). He then closed the Temple and discontinued services there, instead promoting paganism throughout the land (2 Chr 28:25; 29:7). In redefining the worship of Judah so completely, his apostasy was similar to that of Jeroboam I (cp. 2 Kgs 3:3; 13:2; 16:2-4; 17:21; 1 Kgs 12:25-33; 16:26; 22:52)”
