The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:1-29

Significant facts in God's government. "In the second year of Joash," etc. In this chapter we have a sketch of a succession of kings both of Judah and Israel. Here are two kings of Judah—Amaziah and Azariah; and Joash, Jeroboam, and his son Zachariah, kings of Israel. The whole chapter suggests certain significant facts in God's government of mankind. I. THE ENORMOUS FREEDOM OF ACTION WHICH HE ALLOWS WICKED MEN . Here we learn: 1. That God allows wicked men to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:15-16

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah King of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead. These verses are repeated with very slight alterations from 2 Kings 13:11 , 2 Kings 13:12 . Curiously, on both occasions they are out of place. It is scarcely worth while to... read more

Changes in two thrones. The next events recorded are the accession of Jeroboam II ; after the death of Joash, in Israel; and the conspiracy against Amaziah fifteen years later and the accession of Azariah, in Judah. I. THE ACCESSION OF JEROBOAM . More is not told us, than we have already heard, of the "might" of Joash. Jeroboam, who succeeded him, proved the able son of an able father. But the stock of Jehu was godless as ever. The new king also, as we are to see, "did evil in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:17

And Amaziah the son of Joash King of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz King of Israel fifteen years. This note of time is based on 2 Kings 14:2 , which makes Amaziah begin to reign in the second year of Joash of Israel, and hold the throne for twenty-nine years. If he really began to reign in the fourth year of Joash, he would have survived him only thirteen years (see the comment on 2 Kings 14:2 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:18

And the rest of the acts of Amaziah —especially the circumstances of his war with Edom, as related in 2 Chronicles 25:5-13 , his idolatry ( 2 Chronicles 25:14 ), and the rebuke which he received from one of God's prophets ( 2 Chronicles 25:15 , 2 Chronicles 25:16 ) in consequence— are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:19

Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. The author of Chronicles connects this conspiracy with the idolatry of which Amaziah was guilty ( 2 Chronicles 25:27 ); but, though his subjects may have been offended by his religions changes, and have become alienated from him in consequence, the actual conspiracy can scarcely have been prompted by an act which was fifteen, or at any rate thirteen, years old. It is more likely to have sprung out of dissatisfaction with Amaziah's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:20

And they brought him on horses ; literally, on the horses, which must mean "on his horses." Probably Amaziah had fled to Lachish in the royal chariot, and his body was now brought back in it to Jerusalem. The conspirators were evidently minded to treat the royal corpse with all respect. And he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David ; i.e. the city on the eastern hill, which David took from the Jebusites (see the comment on 1 Kings 2:10 ). read more

These two verses (repeated from 2 Kings 13:12-13) are out of place here, where they interrupt the history of Amaziah’s reign. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 14:20

They brought him on horses - i. e. they conveyed his body back to Jerusalem in the royal chariot. The combination of relentless animosity against the living prince with the deepest respect for his dead remains is very characteristic of an Oriental people. read more
