2 Crónicas 25:12 NVI

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 25:1-13

1-13 Amaziah was no enemy to religion, but cool and indifferent friend. Many do what is good, but not with a perfect heart. Rashness makes work for repentance. But Amaziah's obedience to the command of God was to his honour. A firm belief of God's all-sufficiency to bear us out in our duty, and to make up all the loss and damage was sustain in his service, will make his yoke very easy, and his burden very light. When we are called to part with any thing for God and our religion, it should... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 25:1-13

The Overthrow of the Edomites v. 1. Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem, one of the wives selected for his father by Jehoiada, the priest. v. 2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, in maintaining, the worship of Jehovah, but not with a perfect heart, with undivided loyalty; not only did he tolerate idolatry, but he even encouraged its practise. ... read more

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

CRITICAL NOTES.] We have succession of A. (2 Chronicles 25:1-4), his expedition against Moat (5–13), his idolatry (14–16), his war with Joash (17–24), and his death and burial (25–28). Parallel 2 Kings 14:1-20.2 Chronicles 25:1-4.—A.’s succession (cf. 2 Kings 14:2-6). Perfect, single heart; not like ancestor David, but like Joash, father. 2 Chronicles 25:3.

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

Samuel Bagster

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - 2 Chronicles 25:12

And other ten thousand: No intimation is given on what account, or on what provocation, this most cruel conduct towards the prisoners of war was adopted. The enmity between Israel and Edom seems to have been reciprocal and deeply malignant. The victorious king and his army considered every individual of Edom as a traitor and rebel; and so adjudged them to death, and acted on this judgment. But their conduct was wholly inexcusable, and could only perpetuate rancour to future generations, and... read more
