列王纪下 14:22 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 14:15-22

Here are three kings brought to their graves in these few verses:?1. Joash king of Israel, 2 Kgs. 14:15, 16. We attended his funeral once before, 2 Kgs. 13:12, 13. But, because the historian had occasion to give a further account of his life and actions, he again mentions his death and burial. 2. Amaziah king of Judah. Fifteen years he survived his conqueror the king of Israel, 2 Kgs. 14:17. A man may live a great while after he has been shamed, may be thoroughly mortified (as Amaziah no doubt... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 14:22

He built Elath ,.... A port which belonged to Edom, Deuteronomy 2:8 which very probably David took from them when he made them tributary, and which they retook when they revolted, and Amaziah got again when he defeated them; and this his son rebuilt and fortified: and restored it to Judah ; annexed it to the kingdom of Judah, as in the days of David and Solomon: after that the king slept with his fathers ; after the death of his father Amaziah. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 14:22

He built Elath - This city belonged to the Edomites; and was situated on the eastern branch of the Red Sea, thence called the Elanitic Gulf. It had probably suffered much in the late war; and was now rebuilt by Uzziah, and brought entirely under the dominion of Judah. read more

Significant facts in God's government. "In the second year of Joash," etc. In this chapter we have a sketch of a succession of kings both of Judah and Israel. Here are two kings of Judah—Amaziah and Azariah; and Joash, Jeroboam, and his son Zachariah, kings of Israel. The whole chapter suggests certain significant facts in God's government of mankind. I. THE ENORMOUS FREEDOM OF ACTION WHICH HE ALLOWS WICKED MEN . Here we learn: 1. That God allows wicked men to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:15-22

Changes in two thrones. The next events recorded are the accession of Jeroboam II ; after the death of Joash, in Israel; and the conspiracy against Amaziah fifteen years later and the accession of Azariah, in Judah. I. THE ACCESSION OF JEROBOAM . More is not told us, than we have already heard, of the "might" of Joash. Jeroboam, who succeeded him, proved the able son of an able father. But the stock of Jehu was godless as ever. The new king also, as we are to see, "did evil in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:21-22

SUCCESSION OF AZARIAH AND RESUMPTION OF THE WAR WITH EDOM . Though reserving his account of the reign of Azariah to the next chapter (verses 1-7), the writer is led by the circumstances of Amaziah's death to mention at once the fact of his son Azariah's succession, and the first important act of his reign, the resumption of war with Edom. He then breaks off suddenly, in order to interpose an account of the reign of Jeroboam II ; who was contemporary with Amaziah during... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 14:22

He built Elath, and restored it to Judah. On the position of Elath, or Eloth, and its importance, see the comment on 1 Kings 9:26 . It had been the headquarters of Solomon's fleet ( 1 Kings 9:26 ), and again of Jehoshaphat's ( 1 Kings 22:48 ; 2 Chronicles 20:36 ); but had been, of course, recovered by the Edomites when they revolted ( 2 Kings 8:22 ). Azariah's re-occupation seems to imply an intention on his part of, renewing the old Red Sea trade. By "built ' in this passage we... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 14:22

Elath, or Eloth (marginal reference 1 Kings 9:26), was near Ezion-Geber, in the Gulf of Akabah. It had been lost to the Jews on the revolt of Edom from Joram 2 Kings 8:22. Uzziah’s re-establishment of the place, rendered possible by his father’s successes 2 Kings 14:7, was one of his first acts, and seems to imply a desire to renew the commercial projects which Solomon had successfully carried out, and which Jehoshaphat had vainly attempted 1 Kings 22:48. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 14:22

2 Kings 14:22. He built Elath Repaired and fortified it; for it was built before, Deuteronomy 2:8. And restored it to Judah From whom it had revolted with the rest of Edom, in which land it lay, upon the Red sea. After that the king Namely, his father Amaziah; slept with his fathers The meaning is, that Amaziah did not perfect his conquest of Edom, but left some work there for his son to do. read more
