Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 2:8

"Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made." — Isaiah 2:8 (ASV)

Their land also is full of idols. —The word which Isaiah chooses for “idols” (elîlîm — i.e., vain, false, gods) seems intentionally contrasted with elîm (gods, or mighty ones), and may fairly be rendered by no-gods. The reign of Ahaz was conspicuous from the first for this cultus (2 Chronicles 28:2–3), but it had been prominent even under Jotham (2 Chronicles 27:2).
