Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
2 Kings 16:3
"But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel."
"“They which lead thee,” the prophet continued, “cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Verse 12 . During the reign of Ahaz this was literally true; for of him it is written: “He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom;” “yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 28:2, 3 ; 2 Kings 16:3 . PK 324.1"
Ellen White directly references 2 Kings 16:3 in this passage.
2 Kings 16:5
"Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him."
"The idolatrous course of Ahaz, in the face of the earnest appeals of the prophets, could have but one result. “The wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He ... delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing.” 2 Chronicles 29:8 . The kingdom suffered a rapid decline, and its very existence was soon imperiled by invading armies. “Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz.” 2 Kings 16:5 . PK 327.3"
Ellen White directly references 2 Kings 16:5 in this passage.
2 Kings 16:7
"So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath–pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me."
"Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.” 2 Kings 16:7 . The request was accompanied by a rich present from the king's treasure and from the temple storehouse. PK 329.2"
Ellen White directly references 2 Kings 16:7 in this passage.
"The help asked for was sent, and King Ahaz was given temporary relief, but at what a cost to Judah! The tribute offered aroused the cupidity of Assyria, and that treacherous nation soon threatened to overflow and spoil Judah. Ahaz and his unhappy subjects were now harassed by the fear of falling completely into the hands of the cruel Assyrians. PK 329.3"
The EGW passage directly refers to the events described in 2 Kings 16:7, elaborating on the consequences of Ahaz's actions. It's more than a thematic parallel; it's a direct reference to the historical narrative.
