Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - Served groves; Revised Version, the Asherim, correctly (see note, 2 Chronicles 14:3). For this their trespass. Comparing the emphatic language of ver. 23," destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people," we may conclude that stress is to be laid on the pronoun "their" in the present verse. The worship of the true God was not left by the whole people, and we are not told it was by the king; but (very probably through want of moral courage) he incurred the severest sort of blame, and was without even the excuse of strong personal temptation.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) And they left the house of the Lord.--They, viz., the apostate princes and their following, ceased to attend the legal worship of the Temple.And served groves and idols.--Rather, the Ash?rim and the idols. (See Note on 2Chronicles 14:3.)And wrath came.--2Chronicles 19:2; 2Chronicles 19:10; 1Chronicles 27:24. In this case the Divine wrath (Numbers 1:53) manifested itself in a Syrian invasion (2Chronicles 24:23, seq.). . . .
