16:2-3 Again, his ancestor David serves as the standard for measuring the spiritual character of Judah’s kings (14:3; 1 Kgs 15:3, 11).
• the example of the kings of Israel: Ahaz was one of Judah’s most wicked kings. He indulged in the apostate religion of Israel and the pagan practices of other nations to the extent of even sacrificing his own son in the fire (see Jer 19:5; 32:35). Although Levitical regulations prohibited such sacrifices as an abomination detestable to the Lord (Lev 18:10; 20:1-5), the practice was repeated among God’s people (Isa 30:33; Jer 7:31) until Josiah’s reforms (2 Kgs 23:10).
