2 Kings 18
1.Hezekiah's good reign
4.He destroys idolatry, and prospers
9.The inhabitants of Samaria are carried captive for their sins
13.Sennacherib invading Judah, is pacified by a tribute
17.Rabshakeh, by blasphemous persuasions, solicits the people to revolt














At that time
This phrase situates the event during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, specifically during the Assyrian threat under King Sennacherib. The historical context is crucial, as it was a period of intense pressure and fear for Judah, with the Assyrian Empire being a dominant force in the region.

Hezekiah stripped the gold
Hezekiah's actions reflect a desperate attempt to appease the Assyrian king. The stripping of gold signifies a significant sacrifice, as gold was a symbol of wealth and divine blessing. This act can be seen as a moment of crisis where Hezekiah prioritized political survival over religious integrity.

with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD
The temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship and a symbol of God's presence among His people. The gold plating of the temple's doors and doorposts was not only an aesthetic enhancement but also a representation of the temple's sanctity and the nation's devotion to God. Removing the gold from such a sacred place underscores the severity of the situation and the lengths to which Hezekiah was willing to go to protect his kingdom.

and he gave it to the king of Assyria
This act of giving the gold to the Assyrian king, Sennacherib, was a form of tribute or ransom. It highlights the political reality of the time, where smaller nations often paid tribute to more powerful empires to avoid destruction. This action can be compared to other instances in the Bible where leaders sought to buy peace, such as when Solomon paid Hiram of Tyre for materials and labor (1 Kings 5:1-12). It also reflects a moment of human weakness, where reliance on God was overshadowed by fear of earthly powers.

Teaching Points
Faith Under Pressure
Hezekiah's actions reflect the tension between faith and fear. In times of crisis, believers must choose whether to rely on God or succumb to worldly pressures.

Value of Worship
The stripping of gold from the temple underscores the importance of maintaining the sanctity and priority of worship, even in difficult times.

Consequences of Compromise
Hezekiah's decision to appease Assyria by stripping the temple can serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of compromising spiritual integrity for temporary relief.

God's Sovereignty
Despite Hezekiah's actions, God's ultimate deliverance of Jerusalem demonstrates His control over nations and events, encouraging believers to trust in His plans.

What Does 2 Kings 18:16 Mean
At that time

• The phrase situates the action during Sennacherib’s first approach against Judah (2 Kings 18:13).

• It follows Hezekiah’s earlier faithfulness recorded in2 Kings 18:3–6, reminding us that even righteous leaders may face crushing pressure (cf. 2 Chron 32:1).

• Isaiah was prophesying in Jerusalem during this season (Isaiah 36:1), highlighting how God offers guidance even when circumstances look desperate.

Hezekiah stripped the gold

• Hezekiah’s earlier reforms had included reopening and repairing the temple (2 Chron 29:3–17); now the same king removes its riches.

• The act reveals the severity of Assyria’s demand—far beyond the ordinary tribute already paid (2 Kings 18:14).

• It illustrates how fear can drive God’s people to reverse prior gains when trust falters (contrastProverbs 3:5–6).

From the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD

• These fittings had been overlaid in Solomon’s day (1 Kings 6:32–35), symbolizing glory and welcome into God’s presence.

• By dismantling them, Hezekiah visually diminishes the temple’s splendor, a cost felt not only in wealth but in worship (Psalm 96:8–9).

• The action underscores that compromise with oppressors often touches what is most sacred (Matthew 6:24).

He gave it to the king of Assyria

• Assyria’s appetite was never satisfied; after receiving the treasure, Sennacherib still marched against Jerusalem (2 Kings 18:17), proving appeasement futile.

• The handover contrasts with Hezekiah’s later prayerful dependence when cornered (2 Kings 19:14–19), showing growth through failure.

• God ultimately rescued Judah without further payment, reminding us that deliverance is by divine power, not human bargaining (2 Kings 19:32–36;Psalm 20:7).

summary

2 Kings 18:16 captures a moment when a faithful king, under intense threat, chose a short-sighted solution—stripping God’s house to buy temporary relief. The verse warns that fear-driven compromise impoverishes worship and rarely secures lasting peace, while setting the stage for God to demonstrate that trust in Him, not tribute to enemies, brings true deliverance.

(16)Cut off the gold from the doors.--Literally,trimmed, orstripped the doors (the word used in2Kings 16:17 of the similar proceeding of Ahaz). The leaves of the doors of the sanctuary were overlaid with gold (1Kings 6:18;1Kings 6:32;1Kings 6:35). Hard necessity drove Hezekiah to strip off this gold, as well as that with which he had himself plated "the pillars" or ratherthe framework of the doors (literally,the supporters; others think that thedoor-posts only are meant by this term).

Verse 16. -At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah King of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the King of Assyria. In the time of his great wealth and prosperity, Hezekiah, while engaged in restoring the temple (2 Chronicles 29:17-19), had adorned the pillars and doors of the sanctuary with a metal covering, which was probably gold, like Solomon's (1 Kings 6:20-22, 28, 30, 32). To make up the "thirty talents of gold" he was now obliged to undo his own work, and strip the doors and pillars bare. Sennacherib tells us that, besides the two large sums of gold and silver, Hezekiah sent him at this time "woven cloth, scarlet,' embroidered; precious stones of large size; couches of ivory; movable thrones of ivory; skins of buffaloes; horns of buffaloes; and two kinds of woods" ('Records of the Past,' vol. 1. p. 39, lines 34-37). It was customary to accompany the fixed tribute with the more precious products of each country.
