Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:14

Theological / Devotional

Moreover. This section (vs. 14-16) deals with the sins that resulted in the downfall of Judah. Compare 2 Kings 17:7-23 for a much longer account, giving the reasons for the downfall of the northern kingdom of Israel.

Chief of the priests. Compare the vision of Eze. 8:11, 12.

All the abominations. Compare Ezekiel’s vision in which are portrayed some of these abominations that brought the Lord’s fury upon the nation (see Eze. 8:3, 10, 14, 16; cf. Jer. 7:11, 17, 18, 30). There seem to have been few of the terrible abominations of the heathen that were not then practiced by the professed people of God within the sacred Temple courts. With such a situation the day of doom could not be long delayed.
