2Ch 28:26 | KingComments | STEP | The description of the rest of the history of Ahaz and his ways can be found “in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel” ( ). We don’t know that book. This is not necessary, because what we have read about Ahaz in the previous verses, draws him out in full. All his deeds and ways described in that book, which is unknown to us, are only more of the same. The wicked life of Ahaz comes to an end. When he dies, he is buried in Jerusalem. However, there is no tomb of honor for him. He is not buried in the tombs of the kings of Israel. After this concluding remark the chronicler places the son of Ahaz, Hezekiah, before our attention. Hezekiah becomes king instead of Ahaz. In the next four chapters (2 Chronicles 29-32) we will see the great grace of God. That grace is that God has given to a king as wicked as Ahaz a son as God-fearing as Hezekiah and the blessing He gives His people with that.
