列王纪下 15:6-8 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 15:1-7

This is a short account of the reign of Azariah. 1. Most of it is general, and the same that has been given of others; he began young and reigned long (2 Kgs. 15:2), did, for the most part, that which was right, 2 Kgs. 15:3 (it was happy for the kingdom that a good reign was a long one), only he had not zeal and courage enough to take away the high places, 2 Kgs. 15:4. 2. That which is peculiar, 2 Kgs. 15:5 (that God smote him with a leprosy) is more largely related, with the occasion of it, 2... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 15:8-31

The best days of the kingdom of Israel were while the government was in Jehu's family. In his reign, and the next three reigns, though there were many abominable corruptions and miserable grievances in Israel, yet the crown went in succession, the kings died in their beds, and some care was taken of public affairs; but, now that those days are at an end, the history which we have in these verses of about thirty-three years represents the affairs of that kingdom in the utmost confusion... read more

And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? In the history of the reigns of those kings; some of them are recorded in the canonical book of the Chronicles, 2 Chronicles 26:1 and some were written by the prophet Isaiah, 2 Chronicles 26:22 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:7

So Azariah slept with his fathers ,.... Or died, when he had reigned fifty two years: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David ; but not in the sepulchres of the kings, but in the field of the burial, or the burying ground which belonged to them, because he was a leper, 2 Chronicles 26:23 . Benjamin of Tudela F16 Itinerar. p. 43. places his grave near the pillar of Absalom, and the fountain of Siloah, near the brook Kidron: and Jotham his son reigned in his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:8

In the thirty eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. Since Azariah began to reign in the twenty seventh of Jeroboam, 2 Kings 15:1 , and Jeroboam reigned forty one years, 2 Kings 14:23 , his last year must be the fifteenth or sixteenth of Azariah, in which year Zachariah must have begun to reign, had he immediately succeeded his father in the throne; there must be therefore an interregnum of twenty two years at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 15:1-7

THE REIGN OF AZARIAH OVER JUDAS . The writer now more and more compresses his narrative. Into a single chapter he crowds the events of seven reigns, covering the space of nearly seventy years. He is consequently compelled to omit several most important historical events, which are however, fortunately supplied by the writer of Chronicles. Azariah's reign, which here occupies only seven verses, in Chronicles fills an entire chapter (twenty-three verses). (See 2 Chronicles 26:1-23 ... read more

The leper-king a pattern and a warning. I. IN HIS EARLIER YEARS AZARIAH WAS A PATTERN KING . He "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" ( 2 Kings 15:3 ); he "sought God" ( 2 Chronicles 26:5 ); he consorted with "Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God;" and the result was that "God made him to prosper," "God helped him against the Philistines and the Arabians and the Mehunim" ( 2 Chronicles 26:7 ), and he "was marvelously helped" ( 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 15:1-7

Prosperity and its dangers. The contrast between the opening and the close of Uzziah's reign—here so sharply set before us—has few parallels in history. There is, indeed, no lack of monarchs who have risen to proud positions of authority and power, and then suddenly have fallen ignominiously from their pinnacle of pride. Memory at once recalls such names as Nebuchadnezzar, one day surveying with pride great Babylon that he had made, and the next dwelling among the beasts of the field, his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 15:1-7

Another king beginning well, ending ill. It is remarkable that three kings of Judah in succession exhibited this characteristic. They begin well, serve God for a time and prosper, yet stumble and fail at last. We have seen the fates of Joash and Amaziah; and Azariah furnishes a third example. I. AZARIAH 'S REIGN . 1. His righteous rule . Azariah began to reign when only sixteen years of age; he reigned long—fifty-two years, and during the greater part of his reign he... read more
