Context Readings

The Reign Of Ahaz

1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to rule. He ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what Jehovah considered right, as his ancestor David had done. 2 But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made molten images for the Baals. 3 He burned sacrifices in the valley of Ben Hinnom. He sacrificed his son by burning him alive. This was one of the disgusting things done by the nations that Jehovah had driven out from the land Israel possessed.
