	Ahaz (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		Ahaz was the son of Jotham, king of Judah.
		By Divine direction, meeting Ahaz "at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field," he bade him have no fear of "these two tails of smoking firebrands," Rezin and Pekah, for, like dying torches, they would speedily be extinguished (Isaiah 7:3 ff.).
		The statement in 2 Kings 16:20 that Ahaz "was buried with his fathers in the city of David" is to be understood in the light of 2 Chronicles 28:27, that he was buried in Jerusalem, but that his body was not laid in the sepulchers of the kings of Israel.

		II Kings 16:2 "Twenty years old [was] Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father." Ahaz is descended from David, but he does not please God as David did.

		Ahaz did not like that form of worship, nor the old altar that had been there for the past three centuries, so he is about to form his new religion.
		Ahaz had not just brought in another altar, but rearranged the entire house of God, and set up a new form of worship, and the sad part to this is that the priests had gone along with this hypocrisy.

		Ahaz's refusal sounds wise, given the number of times the people of Israel have already been rebuked for testing God, but it masks a failure to distinguish between faithful and rebellious testing of Cod.
		Faithful testing is prepared to act on the outcome, whereas Ahaz's pious answer is a refusal to risk belief in God, a refusal to experience the love God longs to lavish on the king.
		The invitation to Ahaz is actually double-edged; he thinks he is being invited to test God, to prove God true, but he himself is being tested by God's word (Ps.

	Isaiah 7:14 - Immanuel
		Ahaz' genealogy, found in 1 Chronicles 3:10-13, states: "And Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abia his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son, Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son, Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh his son."
		Another way to eliminate Ahaz as the father of the child prophesied in Isaiah 7:14 is to illustrate that when Isaiah came to visit king Ahaz in Isaiah chapter 7, Hezekiah was already at least nine years of age.
		Therefore, since Ahaz died at the age of thirty-six and Hezekiah took the throne at the age of twenty-five, Hezekiah was eleven years younger than Ahaz (36 - 25 = 11).

	Dial Of Ahaz (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		One of the most striking instances recorded in Holy Scripture of the interruption, or rather reversal, of the working of a natural law is the going back of the shadow on the dial of Ahaz at the time of Hezekiah's recovery from his illness.
		It is impossible, therefore, to accept the suggestion that the dial of Ahaz may have been improperly constructed, so as to produce a reversal of the motion of the shadow at certain times.
		His father Ahaz had shown his want of faith by refusing to put the Lord to the test, by refusing to ask a sign, whether in the heaven above or in the earth beneath.
