Verse 4 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Kings. Ahaz begins to reign in Judah and receives a deeply negative evaluation. He adopts religious practices associated with the nations and even sacrifices his son according to abominable practices. He also continues the high places. The passage presents Judah’s religious deterioration as affecting both public worship and extreme family decisions. The narrative establishes a relationship between religious imitation of the nations and the loss of the covenant people’s identity. Ahaz will later be shown seeking external political solutions for a crisis that also has a spiritual dimension.
