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

Ahaz king of Israel - An instance of the lax use of the word “Israel” 2Ch 12:6; 2Ch 21:2. It is simply equivalent to “king of Judah.” He made Judah naked - literally, “he had caused licentiousness in Judah” - i. e. he had allowed Judah to break loose from all restraints of true religion, and to turn to any idolatry that they preferred 2Ch 28:2-4. In this and in the following expression there is implied an apostasy resembling the unfaithfulness of a wife.
