G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

The story of the reign of Amaziah opens with a remarkable statement which gives us the key to all that follows. "He did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart." The general aim of the man was right, but execution was spoiled by imperfection. Nothing is wholly satisfactory to God save the perfect heart, because nothing else can possibly produce the best in man. Amaziah's punishment of his father's murders was tempered with justice. The imperfection of his... read more

Chapter 25In chapter 25,Amaziah [the son of Joash] began to reign, he was twenty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned for twenty-nine years. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a complete heart. It came to pass, when the kingdom was established ( 2 Chronicles 25:1-3 )Actually, his dad was finally killed by a couple of his servants, and so he had the servants killed who had killed his father.But he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

2 Chronicles 25:4 . He slew not their children, as noted in 2 Kings 14:0. Whether the king was justly put to death for the blood of Zechariah and his brothers, is a question too delicate for human tribunals: yet we know that heaven ever maintains a just revenge for innocent blood. As the captains had no divine, no lawful authority to assassinate the king, it was just to put them and their assistants to death. 2 Chronicles 25:5 . He found them three hundred thousand. One third of these... read more
