Ahaz's wicked reign5. Ahaz, assailed by Rezin and Pekah, hires Tiglath-Pileser against them 10. Ahaz, sending a pattern of an altar from Damascus to Urijah, 12. diverts the bronze altar to his own devotions, 17. He raids the temple 19. Hezekiah succeeds him (18) The covert for the sabbath.--A very obscure expression. The best interpretation is "the covered hall (or stand) set apart for the use of the king and his attendants when he visited the Temple on holy days" (reading, with the Hebrew margin, m-sak, which is attested by the Vulg., musach, and the Syriac "house of the sabbath"). The thing is not mentioned anywhere else. In the house--i.e., in the sacred precincts, probably in the inner forecourt. The king's entry without.--The outer entry of the king, i.e., the gate by which the king entered the inner court (Ezekiel 46:1-2). Turned he from the house of the Lord.--Or, he altered in the house of the Lord, i.e., stripped them of their ornamental work. For.--Or, from fear of . . .--But comp. Genesis 6:13, "through them." Ahaz durst not appear before Tiglath without a present. It is possible also that he anticipated a visit from the great king. Verse 18. - And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house. The "covert for the sabbath" was probably (as Keil notes) "a covered place or stand in the court of the temple, to be used by the king whenever he visited the temple with his retinue on the sabbath, or on feast-days." It may have been elaborately ornamented. And the king's entry without. This may have been "the ascent into the house of the Lord," which Solomon constructed for his own use (1 Kings 10:5), and which was among those marvels of art that made the spirit of the Queen of Sheba faint within her. Turned he from the house of the Lord for the King of Assyria. It is not clear what meaning our translators intended to express, and it is still less clear what was the sense intended by the original writer. Ahaz did something to the royal stand inside the temple, and to the;' ascent" which led to it, and what he did was done, not "for the King of Assyria," but "for fear of the King of Assyria;" but what exactly his action was, we cannot say.
