Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 25:13

Unto Beth-horon, to wit, Beth-horon the lower, which was in the tribe of Benjamin; and from thence to Samaria; either, 1. To the city of Samaria; for the kings of Judah had taken divers places within the kingdom of Israel. Or, 2. To the kingdom of Samaria; Beth-horon and all other places between that city and their own kingdom. Smote, i.e. killed, as that word is generally understood. Three thousand of them; not three thousand cities, but three thousand persons dwelling in them, who possibly... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

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. Slew, executed justice; an instance of right-doing. 2 Chronicles 25:4. Not, as Deuteronomy 24:16. Families of traitors often destroyed.2... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Chapter 25In chapter 25,Amaziah [the son of Joash] began to reign, he was twenty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned for twenty-nine years. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a complete heart. It came to pass, when the kingdom was established ( 2 Chronicles 25:1-3 )Actually, his dad was finally killed by a couple of his servants, and so he had the servants killed who had killed his father.But he... read more

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

2Ch 25:13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

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
