F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 14:1-14

the Penalty of Pride 2 Kings 14:1-14 There were good traits in Amaziah’s character, such as humanity to the children of his father’s murderers, and his willingness to forfeit the aid of the army of Israel, because of the prophet’s remonstrance. See 2 Chronicles 25:1-28 . But he fell a victim to Edom’s idols, though he conquered Edom that worshiped them; and from that moment God’s Spirit and guidance seemed to desert him. He was puffed up with pride and vainglory, challenged the king of... read more

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 14:1-16

The Reign Of Jehoash (Joash) King Of Israel c. 2Ki 798-782/1 BC (2 Kings 13:10 to 2 Kings 14:16 ). The reign of Jehoash, King of Israel presents us with another interesting literary phenomenon, for the author first presents us with a brief summary of Jehoash’s reign, ending in the usual closing formula (2 Kings 13:10-13), and then goes on to describe his presence at Elisha’s deathbed (2 Kings 13:14-21), and his successful wars with Benhadad of Aram (2 Kings 13:22-25) and with Amaziah king of... 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
