SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:3

antes anduvo en el camino de los reyes de Israel, y aun hizo pasar por el fuego a su hijo, según las abominaciones de los gentiles que el SEÑOR echó de delante de los hijos de Israel.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 16:3

Verse 3. Made his son to pass through the fire] On this passage I beg leave to refer the reader to my notes on Lev. xviii. 21; xx. 2, 14, where the subject is considered at large.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. But he walked in the way of the kings of
Israel . etc.] Worshipping the calves as they did; which, as it was contrary to the religious sentiments in which he was educated, so against his political interest, which was the only, or at least the principal thing, which swayed with the kings of Israel to continue that idolatry: yea, and made his son to pass through the fire ; between two fires to Molech, by way of lustration; which might be true of Hezekiah his son, and others of his sons, for he had more he burnt with fire, as appears from ( 2 Chronicles 28:3), both ways were used in that sort of idolatry, (see Gill on “ Leviticus 18:21”), according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel ; the old Canaanites; so the Carthaginians, a colony of the Phoenicians, used in time of calamity to offer human sacrifices, and even their children, to appease their deities f182 .

Theodoret says, he had seen in some cities, in his time, piles kindled once a year, over which not only boys, but men, would leap, and infants were carried by their mothers through the flames; which seemed to be an expiation or purgation, and which he takes to be the same with the sin of Ahaz.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-9 - Few and evil were the days of Ahaz. Those whose hearts condemn them will go any where in a day of distress, rather than to God. The sin wa its own punishment. It is common for those who bring themselves int straits by one sin, to try to help themselves out by another.
