    - Behold.
      To this beautiful speech nothing can be added by the best
      comment:  it is simple, humane, pious, and overwhelmingly
      convincing; and it is no wonder that it produced the effect
      here described.  That there was much humanity, as well as
      firmness, in the heads of the children of Ephraim, who joined
      with the prophet of Jehovah on this occasion, their subsequent
      conduct, as detailed in the fifteenth verse, sufficiently
      proves.  They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate
      captives, but they took that very spoil which their victorious
      army had taken, and with clothed, shod, fed, and anointed
      these distressed people, set the feeblest of them upon asses,
      and escorted them safely to Jericho!  We can scarcely find a
      parallel to this in the universal history of the wars which
      savage man has carried on against his fellows from the
      foundation of the world.  The compliance also of the whole
      army, in leaving both the captives and spoil to the disposal
      of the princes, was really wonderful, and perhaps unparalleled
      in history.  Both the princes and army are worthy to be held
      up to the admiration and imitation of mankind.

    VERSE 23 
     - For he sacrificed.
      This passage, says Mr. Hallet, greatly surprised me; for the
      sacred historian is here represented as saying, "The gods of
      Damascus had smitten Ahaz."  But it is impossible to suppose
      that an inspired author should say this; for the Scripture
      every where represents the heathen idols as nothing and
      vanity, and as incapable of doing either good or hurt.  All
      difficulty is avoided if we follow the old Hebrew copies, from
      which the Greek translation was made:  "And king Ahaz said, I
      will seek to the gods of Damascus which have smitten me."
    
       * 2Ch 25:14 2Ki 16:12,13

    VERSE 24 
     - cut in pieces.
       * 2Ki 16:17,18; 25:13-17
    - shut up.
       * 2Ch 29:3,7
    - he made.
       * 2Ch 33:3-5 Jer 2:28 Ho 12:11 Ac 17:16,23
    
    
    VERSE 25 
     - burn.  or, offer.
       * :3 *marg:
    
    
    VERSE 26 
     - the rest.
       * 2Ch 20:34; 27:7-9 2Ki 16:19,20
    
    
    VERSE 27 
     - A.M. 3278.  B.C. 726.  they brought.
       * 2Ch 21:20; 26:23; 33:20 1Sa 2:30 Pr 10:7
    - the kings of Israel.
      Or, "the kings of Judah;" the name Israel being sometimes
      applied by the writer of this book, in a general way, to
      Judah.  The Hebrews were accustomed to honor the memory of
      those kings who had reigned well, by depositing their remains
      in the royal cemetery.  On the contrary, those who died under
      the disapproval of the people, as a mark of posthumous
      disgrace, were denied interment with their predecessors, and
      were buried in some other place in Jerusalem.  So it was with
      Ahaz, who, though brought into the city, was not buried in the
      sepulchres of the kings of Judah.  It was doubtless with a
      design to make a suitable impression on the minds of their
      kings while living, that such distinctions were observed.
      They might thus restrain them from evil, or excite them to
      good, according as they were fearful of being execrated, or
      desirous of being honored, when dead.
