列王纪下 14:21 RCUVSS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 14:1-29

Turning back to Judah, we find Amaziah on the throne. "He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet. . . ." The constantly repeated story of limitation in loyalty is told again. Success attended his arms, but issued in the lifting up of his own heart, and his foolish challenge to Jehoash the king of Israel, whose answer was characterized by contempt for Amaziah and yet evidenced a desire for peace. To this the king of Judah would not yield, with the result that he was defeated,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 14:1-22

The Reign Of Amaziah, King Of Judah c. 796-767 BC (2 Kings 14:1-22 ). As with many kings of Judah Amaziah’s reign was seen as ‘right in the eyes of YHWH’, although with a decided ‘but’. The ‘but’ explains why he was partly successful, and partly not. It is made clear that on the whole he walked in accordance with the law of Moses (not fully because he did not rid the land of ‘high places’), but that that did not prevent him from foolish pride which led to his downfall, and yet once again the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 14:1-22

2 Kings 14:1-Song of Solomon : . The Reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, King of Judah.— Amaziah was a virtuous king like his father Joash, but not according to the standard of David. This is the judgment of the Deuteronomist, who refers to the law-book of his age, approving the king’ s forbearance in not punishing the sons of his father’ s murderers ( Deuteronomy 21:1-1 Samuel : *, Deuteronomy 24:16). Amaziah was successful in his wars with Edom, whose territory was peculiarly important to Judah... read more

Which they did, either in opposition to the conspirators, or to show their affection to the house of David, and that their quarrel was only personal against Amaziah, whom they looked upon as thee author of all their late calamities. This Azariah is called Uziah, 2 Kings 15:30; 2 Chronicles 26:1, both names signifying the same thing for substance; that God’s help, and this God’s strength. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 14:1-29

2 Kings 14:2 . His mother’s name was Jehoaddan. The mothers of the kings of Judah are mostly mentioned by name, but those of the kings of Israel are seldom named so expressly; for the kings of Israel were not regarded as equal in honour to the kings of Judah. 2 Kings 14:6 . The children of the regicides he slew not. This is mentioned as a virtue in his character, for in that age, and even in the old Spanish histories, vengeance was often extended to the children. The history of these... read more
