SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:7
Entonces Acaz envió embajadores a Tiglat-pileser rey de Asiria, diciendo: Yo soy tu siervo y tu hijo; sube, y defiéndeme de mano del rey de Siria, y de mano del rey de Israel, que se han levantado contra mí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 16:7
Verse 7. I am thy servant and thy son] I will obey thee in all, and become tributary to thee; only help me against Syria and Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria , etc.] Of whom (see 2 Kings 15:29) saying, [I am] thy servant, and thy son ; signifying, that he would be his vassal, and become tributary to him, and serve him as a servant to his master, or a son his father, on condition he would come to his assistance, and so he became his servant; hence his son Hezekiah is said to rebel against the king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 18:1,7) come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king off Israel, which rise up against me ; which assistance he had no reason to call in, since the Lord had promised him deliverance from both those kings, and gave him a sign of it, ( Isaiah 7:4-16).
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.
