2 Chronicles 28:19

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Ahaz king of Israel - An instance of the lax use of the word “Israel” 2 Chronicles 12:6; 2 Chronicles 21:2. It is simply equivalent to “king of Judah.”

He made Judah naked - literally, “he had caused licentiousness in Judah” - i. e. he had allowed Judah to break loose from all restraints of true religion, and to turn to any idolatry that they preferred 2 Chronicles 28:2-4. In this and in the following expression there is implied an apostasy resembling the unfaithfulness of a wife.
