列王紀下 13:7 RCUVTS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 13:1-9

The Reign Of Jehoahaz, King of Israel (814/13-798 BC). On the death of Jehu, his son Jehoahaz ascended the throne of Israel. It was at a time when Assyria had not troubled the area for many years, and were being kept busy elsewhere with attacks on its north-west and eastern frontiers, having previously put down a great revolt in Nineveh and other important centres (mentioned in the Eponym Chronicle - 827-822 BC). Thus there was no restraint on the now powerful kingdom of Aram, and they took... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 13:1-9

2 Kings 13:1 to 2 Kings 17:6 . The remainder of the history of Israel to the fall of Samaria, with the contemporary annals of Judah, is of the nature of chronicle rather than history. There are few interesting narratives like those in the earlier parts of the book. The exceptions are: ( a) the death of Elisha ( 2 Kings 13:14 ff.); ( b) the war between Israel and Judah ( 2 Kings 14:8-Nehemiah :); ( c) the repairs of the Temple at Jerusalem by Ahaz ( 2 Kings 16:10-Nehemiah :). The main sources... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 13:7

Neither did he, i.e. the king of Syria, 2 Kings 13:4, with which this verse is to be joined; 2 Kings 13:5,2 Kings 13:6 being put within a parenthesis, as it is in our translation. But this verse may be translated otherwise, Although he (either the king of Syria, 2 Kings 13:4, or the Lord, 2 Kings 13:5, to whom judgments are oft ascribed, even when wicked men are the instruments of executing it) had not left, &c. And so it may be joined with the next foregoing verse, as a great aggravation... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Kings 13:1-13

THE DEATH OF ELISHACRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 13:1. Jehoahas, the son of Jehu, began to reign over Israel—Here the historian turns from the records of Judah to those of Israel. The date—“three and twentieth year”—does not accord by two years with that given in 2 Kings 13:10, as the corresponding year of the reign of Joash [or Jehoash], king of Judah; but copyist’s blunders in Hebrew numerals occurred so easily. 2 Kings 13:4. The Lord saw the oppression of Israel—He allowed the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 13:1-25

Chapter 13Now we're going to move north again to the reign of Jehoahaz over Israel in chapter thirteen. So up in Israel, Jehu has died and his son Jehoahaz begins to reign over Israel there in Samaria, and he reigned for seventeen years.And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD ( 2 Kings 13:2 ),Now, I told you before that Israel did not have one decent king. Of every king of Israel, it is declared, "He did evil in the sight of the Lord." Not one of them followed after the Lord.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 13:1-25

2 Kings 13:4 . Jehoahaz besought the Lord, as oppressed Israel had done in the time of the Judges. 2 Kings 13:5 . The Lord gave Israel a Saviour. Not Joash, as some say, but Messiah, the Angel of his presence saved them, as the rabbins state. Why have they not told us more? The Messiah probably appeared as to Joshua, Gideon, and Manoah. 2 Kings 13:6 . There remained the grove in Samaria, where Astarte, one of the four names of Venus, had been worshipped, and probably was so... read more

2 Kings 13:2-13He did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.DefectionJust as two roads that diverge from each other at a very sharp angle, get the wider apart the further they go, till at last half a continent may be held betwixt them--the little deflection from the narrow line of Christian duty and simple faithfulness, it is only God’s mercy that will prevent it from leading thee away out, out, out into the waste plains and doleful wildernesses, where all sinful, and dark, and foul... read more
