The Sin of King Ahaz
Commentators explain that King Ahaz didn't just follow the political policies of Israel's kings; he adopted their state-sponsored idolatry. By making 'molten images for the Baalim,' he was creating idols for the various forms and aspects of the Canaanite god Baal, a direct violation of God's commands.
