Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

For again the Edomites had come,.... As in the days of Jehoshaphat, 2Ch 20:10, and smitten Judah, and carried away captives; taking the advantage of the weak and low condition Ahaz was in, and which was the reason of his sending to the king of Assyria.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The Edomites took advantage of the reverses of Ahaz, and were perhaps in league with Rezin (see 2Ki 16:6 note). The pitilessness of Edom, and her readiness to turn against Judah in any severe distress, is noticed and sternly rebuked by the prophets (Amo 1:11; Eze 35:5; Oba 1:10-14, etc.).
