Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:17-28

We have here this degenerate prince mortified by his neighbour and murdered by his own subjects. I. Never was proud prince more thoroughly mortified than Amaziah was by Joash king of Israel. 1. This part of the story (which was as fully related 2 Kgs. 14:8-22, as it is here)--embracing the foolish challenge which Amaziah sent to Joash (2 Chron. 25:17), his haughty scornful answer to it (2 Chron. 25:18), with the friendly advice he gave him to sit still and know when he was well off, (2 Chron.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:20-28

But Amaziah would not hear ,.... What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt: for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies ; Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry: because they sought after the gods of Edom ; he and his nobles, and many... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Another type of uncertain character. We are at once advised, in refer-once to Amaziah, that he "did right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart." The expression might be supposed to cover the description of a man whose life was in the main right, but who was betrayed by temptation into some serious sins, of which, like David, he bitterly repented, but genuinely repented, and was restored to peace -rod favour. No such interpretation, however, is here possible. And as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:17-24

Human presumption. In the correspondence between these two kings and the action which ensued we have a very striking illustration of the evil of human presumption. I. IT MAY BE BEGOTTEN OF A SLIGHT SUCCESS . "Thou hast smitten the Edomites and thy heart lifteth thee up to boast" ( 2 Chronicles 25:19 ). Some men are soon inflated; even a little "knowledge puffeth up." And a very slight achievement, in art, or in song, or in speech, or in manufacture, is enough to fill... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:17-24

The battle of Beth-shemesh; or, the downfall of a boaster. I. THE OBJECT OF THE BATTLE . 1 . The object of its promoter, Amaziah. 2 . The object of its Director, God. If Amaziah had an aim in seeking a pitched battle with Joash King of Israel, so had Jehovah an aim in allowing him and Joash to try conclusions on the field of war. If Amaziah meant to punish Joash, Jehovah meant to punish Amaziah: which of the two, the King of Judah or the King of kings, was the more... read more

Joash … took ; Hebrew, תָּפַּשׂ , "seized" (as Genesis 39:12 ), or "caught up" (as Deuteronomy 9:17 ), or "capture" (as Joshua 8:8 ). The gate of Ephraim . It led out on the north or north-west side of the city. There is very little to identify it with the high gate of Benjamin. The corner gate. This is not the translation of our Hebrew text, but of the Hebrew text of the parallel ( חַפִנָּה ); see pp. 343-346 of Conder's 'Handbook to the Bible,' and map facing p. 334, 2nd... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Prosperity followed by disaster (25:1-28:27)Succeeding kings of Israel are passed over in silence (2 Kings 13:1-25). Judah was to have nothing to do with the northern kingdom, not even to the hiring of Israelite soldiers. Amaziah took the advice, and was rewarded with victory in a battle against Edom. But the victory, instead of increasing his dependence on God, gave him a feeling of independence. He turned from God and worshipped idols. The ungodly northern kingdom then became God’s instrument... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

I. Amaziah ch. 25The Chronicler selected three events from Amaziah’s reign to teach important spiritual lessons.First, Amaziah followed the Mosaic Law faithfully in dealing with the people who had killed his father (2 Chronicles 25:1-4; cf. Deuteronomy 24:16). These actions transpired at the beginning of his reign.Second, the king obeyed God partially in his war with the Edomites (2 Chronicles 25:5-16). He unwisely hired mercenary soldiers to help him rather than seeking the Lord’s help (2... read more

Reign of AmaziahThis chapter is derived in the main from 2 Kings 14:1-20, but with two insertions, 2 Kings 14:5-10 and 2 Kings 14:13-16.5.
