‏ 2 Kings 16:5

Summary for 2Kgs 16:5-6: 16:5-6  a Rezin ... Pekah: This alliance between the kings of Aram and Israel was intended to free the area of Assyrian dominance under Tiglath-pileser III (15:29-30  b; Isa 9:1  c). The attack against Judah may have occurred to force Judah into the alliance or to replace the Judean king with one of their own choosing (Isa 7:3-6  d). The result was captivity and widespread death for the people of Judah (2 Chr 28:5-15  e). Isaiah reports that Rezin and Pekah intended to install a new king on Judah’s throne (Isa 7:3-6  f). Judah also suffered further attacks by the Edomites and Philistines (2 Chr 28:17-18  g). All of this was God’s will due to Ahaz’s detestable spiritual practices, which led to great sin among the people of Judah (2 Chr 28:5  h, 19  i).
