2 Chronicles 24:24. For, or rather, although, the army of the Syrians came with a small company Or was a small company of men.

2 Chronicles 24:25. They left him in great diseases, &c. The chastisement by the invasion of the Syrians, and their destroying the princes, and plundering the city, not answering the end intended, of humbling Joash, and bringing him to repentance, God proceeded to smite him with sore diseases; and as even this did not reclaim him, his own servants were permitted to conspire against him and slay him. For, when vengeance pursues guilty men, the end of one trouble is often but the... read more

GOD'S SUMMARY PUNISHMENT OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM"And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
