Ahaz:

possessor. (1.) A grandson of Jonathan (1Ch 8:35; 9:42).

(2.) The son and successor of Jotham, king of Judah (16; Isa. 7-9; 2 Chr. 28). He gave himself up to a life of 2Ki 16; Isa. 7-9; 16; Isa. 7-9; 2 Chr. 28). He gave himself up to a life of 2Ch 28). He gave himself up to a life of wickedness and idolatry. Notwithstanding the remonstrances and warnings of Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah, he appealed for help against Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Israel, who threatened Jerusalem, to Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, to the great injury of his kingdom and his own humilating subjection to the Assyrians (2Ki 16:7,9; 15:29). He also introduced among his people many heathen and idolatrous customs (Isa 8:19; 38:8; 2Ki 23:12). He died at the age of thirty-five years, after reigning sixteen years (B.C. 740-724), and was succeeded by his son Hezekiah. Because of his wickedness he was "not brought into the sepulchre of the kings."
