Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - Ahaz King of Israel. So Jehoshaphat was called in 2 Chronicles 21:2 "King of Israel." If these two occasions are not merely cases of the writer's or of a copyist's easily imaginable mistake, they must be regarded as naming the king of the chief divided kingdom by the title of the whole kingdom or people. He made Judah naked; Revised Version, had dealt wantonly in Judah; or margin, Revised Version, had cast away restraint in Judah; Hebrew, הִפְרִיַע.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Ahaz king of Israel.--Most commentators see an irony in this expression. But, as has been stated before, the southern kingdom was Israel in the chronicler's idea; although that of the Ten Tribes was, politically speaking, as much more important, as the cedar of Lebanon was in comparison with the blackthorn growing beside it (2Chronicles 25:18. See Note on 2Chronicles 12:6; 2Chronicles 21:2). (Some Hebrew MSS., and all ancient versions, read "Judah." Other Hebrew MSS. remark that in seven places "king of Judah" should be read instead of "king of Israel.")He made Judah naked.--Rather, he behaved loosely, dealt licentiously in Judah (hiphri'a). The verb is so used here only. (Comp. Exodus 5:4, where it is transitive: "Why loose ye the people from their works?") (LXX. omits, Authorised version follows the Vulg.)Transgressed sore.--Done unfaithfulness (1Chronicles 10:13). . . .
