SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:5
¶ Entonces Rezín rey de Siria, y Peka hijo de Remalías rey de Israel, subieron a Jerusalén para hacer guerra, y cercar a Acaz; mas no pudieron tomarla.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 16:5
Verse 5. But could not overcome him.] It is likely that this was the time when Isaiah was sent to console Ahaz; (see Isa. vii. 1;) and predicted the death both of Rezin and Pekah, his enemies.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Then Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to war , etc.] To fight with Ahaz, moved to it by the Lord, to chastise Ahaz for his idolatry, ( 2 Kings 15:37 Chronicles 28:5) but could not overcome him ; so as to take Jerusalem, and set up another king there, as their scheme was, ( Isaiah 7:5,) though they had both at other times got great advantages over him, and slew many of his people, and carried them captive, (see 2 Chronicles 28:5-8).
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.
