§ 36 Abarbinel, who heaps together the Interpretations, Conjectures and Traditions of most that went before him, seems to agree with Kimchi in that, of the Government being upon his Shoulder, because his Father Ahaz sent [Greek or Hebrew], a Present unto the King of Assyria, but he did not; whereas it is expressly said, that he paid him Tribute of three hundred Talents of Silver and thirty Talents of Gold, for the raising whereof, he emptied his own Treasures, and the Treasures of the House of God, yea, and cut off the Gold from the Doors and Pillars of the Temple, 2 Kings 18. v. 15, 16. yet he mentions that other fancy of Rashi about the study of the Law, and so leaves it. But in this of the Name ascribed unto him he would take another course; For finding Hezekiah in their Talmud. Tract. Saned. Pereck Chelek, called by his Masters, [Greek or Hebrew], He who had eight names, as Sennacherib is also childishly there said to have had, he would in the first place, ascribe all these names unto Hezekiah, giving withal such Reasons of them, as I dare not be so importune on the Readers patience, as to transcribe; and himself after he had ascribed this Opinion to Jonathan the Targumist, and Rashi, embraceth the other of Kimchi before confuted. And yet knows not how to abide by that neither.
