2 Chronicles28:16
16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
i. e. The King: The Plural Number for the Singular; Either 1. Because he was a Great King and a King of Kings; as the Elephant, or, as others think, the Crocodile, is called Behemoth, which signifies Beasts, Iob 40. because of his vast Bulk and Eminency above other Beasts. Or, 2. Because he wrote to divers of the Kings or great Princes, who may be called Kings in a more general signification of the Word, and indeed are so called, Isa. 10. 8. Are not my Princes altogether Kings?
