列王紀下 13:1-3 CUNPTS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 13:1-9

Jehoahaz King of Israel v. 1. In the three and twentieth year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, began to reign over Israel. The reign of Joash occupied twenty-one full years, the extra months being reckoned, according to Jewish chronology, as full years. And reigned seventeen years, or sixteen years and a few months according to the modern exact way of reckoning. v. 2. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed, walked in the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 13:1-9

Inglorious Ends 2 Kings 12:17-21 ; 2 Kings 13:1-9 As long as we are with the Lord, He is with us. Then our enemies are His enemies, and He shows Himself strong on the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him. See 2 Chronicles 15:2 . So Joash found it in the earlier part of his reign. We need to ponder the blessings set out in Psalms 81:14-16 , as guaranteed to the life which is at one with God. But directly Joash listened to the princes and forsook the house of God and gave license... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 13:1-25

Under Jehoahaz the story of corruption ran on in Israel. It was the story of continuation of evil as moral, and its consequent continuation as punishment. Readiness of God to forgive is revealed in the parenthesis. A consciousness of the terrible condition of the people seems to have taken possession of the king, and he besought the Lord. In answer to his prayer a saviour was raised up. No particulars are here given. In all probability they are to be found in chapter fourteen. Jehoahaz was... read more

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

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
