Ahaz the son of Jotham begins to reign, and walks in the way of the kings of Israel

요담의 아들 아하스가 왕이 되어 이스라엘 열왕의 길로 행함

2 Kings 16:1–4: the text says, “In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD his God’s eyes, like David his father. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel. He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.” Where WEB reads “David his father” (16:2), the Korean Revised Version reads 그 조상 다윗, David his ancestor; at 16:3 it names no one and puts the abominations of the nations before the son (이방 사람의 가증한 일을 본받아 자기 아들을 불 가운데로 지나가게 하며).
