Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - At that time did King Ahaz... kings of Assyria. The vagueness of this common formula, "at that time," would doubtless not have been apparent in the original sources. In the present instance we may fall back on our vers. 5, 6 to give it distinctness; but see vers. 5, 6, 7 of the parallel, which involve their own formula and the present in some little uncertainty. The kings of Assyria. The Septuagint and other versions show the singular number. Our plural may perhaps find an explanation in 2 Chronicles 30:6; 2 Chronicles 32:4.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersUNDER THE PRESSURE OF NEW ENEMIES, AHAZ ASKS HELP FROM ASSYRIA, BUT RECEIVES HURT (2Chronicles 28:17-21). (Comp. 2Kings 16:7-18.)(16) At that time.--Apparently after the events above narrated; how soon after we can hardly decide.The kings of Assyria.--A generalised expression, as in 2Chronicles 28:3 (comp. 2Chronicles 28:20-21), where the actual king is named. All the old versions have "king."
