King Ahaz is one of the most evil and unfaithful kings in Judah’s history. His unfaithfulness goes to extremes, for he not only worships other gods, but sacrifices his children to them in order to seek their favor. In a time of war and distress, Ahaz turns to Assyria for aid, rather than turning to the Lord, and loses vast quantities of wealth trying to buy their help. When his son Hezekiah comes to power, the new king removes the altars and the Asherah poles set up during his father’s reign, calling Judah and all of Israel to return to the Lord and worship him alone.
