Best Answer

Ahaz was the son of Jotham, King of Judah , and began to reign at the age of 20. He was a very bad and disloyal king, allowing and even engaging in pagan sacrifice(2Kings 16:3, 4; 2Chronicles 28:3, 4)(2Ch 28:27). After 16 years of apostasy, he died, and though buried in Jerusalem, he was not put in the 'royal burial places of the kings'. (2Kings 16:2; 2Chronicles 28:1)

Ahaz was the king of Judah who reigned in the 8th century BCE. He is remembered in The Bible for leading Judah away from God and practicing idolatry. Ahaz's reign is significant because it set the stage for the eventual downfall of Judah.
