2 Kings 16:3 meaning and explanation
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
2 Kings 16:3, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The narrator is summarizing the reign of Ahaz, king of Judah, and this verse gives the charge against him. Walking in the ways of the kings of Israel means copying the northern kingdom's idolatry rather than David's loyalty to the LORD.
