Clarke's 2-chronicles 28:6 Bible Commentary
A hundred and twenty thousand - It is very probable that there is a mistake in this number. It is hardly possible that a hundred and twenty thousand men could have been slain in one day; yet all the versions and MSS. agree in this number. The whole people seem to have been given up into the hands of their enemies.
Barnes's 2-chronicles 28:6 Bible Commentary
The fearful loss here described may have been due to a complete defeat followed by panic.
Wesley's 2-chronicles 28:6 Bible Commentary
28:6 Forsaken - Ahaz walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and God chose the king of Israel for his scourge: it is just with God, to make them a plague to us, whom we have made our patterns, or partners in sin.
