2Ki 16:19 | TNotes | STEP | 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 )

He then closed the Temple and discontinued services there, instead promoting paganism throughout the land (2 Chr 28:25 ^c; 29:7 ^d). In redefining the worship of Judah so completely, his apostasy was similar to that of Jeroboam I (cp. 2 Kgs 3:3 ^e; 13:2 ^f; 16:2-4 ^g; 17:21 ^h; 1 Kgs 12:25-33 ⁱ; 16:26 ^j; 22:52 ^k)
