2Ki 16:1-16.
AHAZ' WICKED REIGN OVER JUDAH.
1-4. Ahaz . . . did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord--[See on
2Ch 28:1.]
The character of this king's reign, the voluptuousness and religious degeneracy of all classes of the people, are graphically portrayed in the writings of Isaiah, who prophesied at that period. The great increase of worldly wealth and luxury in the reigns of Azariah and Jotham had introduced a host of corruptions, which, during his reign, and by the influence of Ahaz, bore fruit in the idolatrous practices of every kind which prevailed in all parts of the kingdom (see
2Ch 28:24).

3. 行以色列诸王所行的道——这话描述他执政初期的情形:那时他像以色列诸王一样,赞助以偶像象征性地敬拜神;但他逐渐陷入更严重的偶像崇拜
(2Ch 28:2)。
使他的儿子经火——
(2Ki 23:10)。
摩洛偶像的双手烧得通红,孩子们被从两手之间穿过,被视为一种洁净礼。有理由相信在某些情形下,孩子们被活活烧死
(Ps 106:37)。
这在律法中是严厉禁止的
(Le 18:21; 20:2-5; De 18:10),
尽管没有证据表明这种做法在以色列实行过,直到亚哈斯时代才出现。

3. walked in the way of the kings of Israel--This is descriptive of the early part of his reign, when, like the kings of Israel, he patronized the symbolic worship of God by images but he gradually went farther into gross idolatry
(2Ch 28:2).
made his son to pass through the fire--
(2Ki 23:10).
The hands of the idol Moloch being red hot, the children were passed through between them, which was considered a form of lustration. There is reason to believe that, in certain circumstances, the children were burnt to death
(Ps 106:37).
This was strongly prohibited in the law
(Le 18:21; 20:2-5; De 18:10),
although there is no evidence that it was practised in Israel till the time of Ahaz.

5. 亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子以色列王比加,上来攻击耶路撒冷——尽管他们竭尽全力、积极备战,却未能攻取;他们既失望,便撤围退兵回去了(参
Isa 7:1)。
Original em inglês
5. Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem--Notwithstanding their great efforts and military preparations, they failed to take it and, being disappointed, raised the siege and returned home (compare
Isa 7:1).

6. 利汛……收回以拉他——即亚撒利雅曾据为己有的
(2Ki 14:22)。
亚兰人来到以拉他,住在那里直到今日——《七十士译本》作「以东人」,这是最审慎的注释家和旅行家[ROBINSON]所偏取的读法。
Original em inglês
6. Rezin . . . recovered Elath--which Azariah had got into his possession
(2Ki 14:22).
the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day--The Septuagint version has "the Edomites," which the most judicious commentators and travellers [ROBINSON] prefer.

7-9. 亚哈斯差遣使者去见提革拉毗列色——尽管以赛亚以两个记号向他保证,一个在即近,一个在遥远
(Isa 7:14; 8:4),
联盟二王必不能胜他,亚哈斯仍向亚述君王求助,为购买其援助,他将王宫和圣殿的财宝悉数送去。提革拉毗列色进军大马士革,杀了王利汛,并将大马士革的居民掳到吉珥,吉珥被认为是玛代的嘉林城(即今之凯伦德)。
Original em inglês
7-9. So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser--In spite of the assurance given him by Isaiah by two signs, the one immediate, the other remote
(Isa 7:14; 8:4),
that the confederate kings would not prevail against him, Ahaz sought aid from the Assyrian monarch, to purchase which he sent the treasures of the palace and temple. Tiglath-pileser marched against Damascus, slew Rezin the king, and carried the people of Damascus into captivity to Kir, which is thought to have been the city Karine (now Kerend), in Media.

10-16. 亚哈斯王往大马士革去迎接提革拉毗列色——这是一次表示尊敬、或许也表达感恩的访问。亚哈斯在那异邦城中停留期间,看见一座祭坛,深受吸引。他随即派人将其图样送到耶路撒冷,吩咐祭司乌利亚照大马士革的样式造一座,并以这新坛取代圣殿中的旧坛。乌利亚以不可原谅的逢迎之心,照着王的指示行了
(2Ki 16:16)。
这事之罪在于,擅自干预并按照人的口味和好恶去改进圣殿的祭坛,而这些祭坛的样式是神亲自定规的
(Ex 25:40; 26:30; 27:1; 1Ch 28:19)。
乌利亚是以赛亚召来见证其反对亚兰和以色列之预言的见证人之一
(Isa 8:2)。
Original em inglês
10-16. And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser--This was a visit of respect, and perhaps of gratitude. During his stay in that heathen city, Ahaz saw an altar with which he was greatly captivated. Forthwith a sketch of it was transmitted to Jerusalem, with orders to Urijah the priest to get one constructed according to the Damascus model, and let this new altar supersede the old one in the temple. Urijah, with culpable complaisance, acted according to his instructions
(2Ki 16:16).
The sin in this affair consisted in meddling with, and improving according to human taste and fancy, the altars of the temple, the patterns of which had been furnished by divine authority
(Ex 25:40; 26:30; 27:1; 1Ch 28:19).
Urijah was one of the witnesses taken by Isaiah to bear his prediction against Syria and Israel
(Isa 8:2).

他 劫掠 圣殿
17. 将盆座四边的心子砍断等——据推测,他这样做是为了用那些精巧的雕刻来装饰自己的王宫。

2Ki 16:17-19.
HE SPOILS THE TEMPLE.
17. cut off the borders of the bases, &c.--It is thought that he did this to use the elaborate sculpture in adorning his palace.

18. 为安息日所设的廊子——即祭司在安息日进入圣殿所经过的门廊。
王从外面入殿的廊子——即王从外面进入圣殿的私人入口。亚哈斯所作的更改,在于将这两处都移入圣殿之内,是因畏惧亚述王,恐怕一旦被围,可以确保圣殿的入口不被他所利用。
Original em inglês
18. the covert for the Sabbath--the portico through which the priests entered the temple on the Sabbath.
the king's entry without--a private external entrance for the king into the temple. The change made by Ahaz consisted in removing both of these into the temple from fear of the king of Assyria, that, in case of a siege, he might secure the entrance of the temple from him.
2Ki 16:1-16.
亚哈斯 在犹大 行恶 的统治
1-4. 亚哈斯……不像他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事——[参
2Ch 28:1。]
这王治国的情形、各阶层百姓的放纵与宗教堕落,在那一时期说预言的以赛亚的著作中有生动的描绘。亚撒利雅和约坦在位期间,属世财富与奢侈生活大增,已引入无数弊端;这些弊端在他的治下,并藉着亚哈斯的影响,结出了在王国各地盛行的各样偶像崇拜之恶果(参
2Ch 28:24)。
