列王纪下 17:19 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 17:7-23

Though the destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes was but briefly related, it is in these verses largely commented upon by our historian, and the reasons of it assigned, not taken from the second causes?the weakness of Israel, their impolitic management, and the strength and growing greatness of the Assyrian monarch (these things are overlooked)--but only from the First Cause. Observe, 1. It was the Lord that removed Israel out of his sight; whoever were the instruments, he was the... read more

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God ,.... But were infected with the idolatry of the ten tribes, and drawn into it by their example, and persisted therein, notwithstanding what befell the ten tribes; which are aggravations of the sins of them both, see Jeremiah 3:7 , but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made ; worshipping the calves as they did, particularly in the times of Ahaz, he setting the example, see 2 Kings 16:3 . read more

Captivity and its cause. Here is the beginning of the dispersion of Israel. Soon that favored nation will be "a people scattered and peeled." These verses give us the explanation of Israel's exile. It is a solemn warning against the neglect of opportunities. I. COMMANDS DISOBEYED . "They rejected his statutes" ( 2 Kings 17:15 ); "They left all the commandments of the Lord their God" ( 2 Kings 17:16 ); "They served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this... read more

The provocations which induced God to destroy the Israelite kingdom. Here, for once, the writer ceases to be the mere historian, and becomes the religious teacher and prophet, drawing out the lessons of history, and justifying the ways of God to man. As Bahr says, he " does not carry on the narrative as taken from the original authorities, but himself here begins a review of the history and fate of Israel, which ends with 2 Kings 17:23 , and forms an independent section by itself."... read more

The lessons to be learnt from the destruction of the kingdom of Samaria. The first and main lesson is, of course, the great fact— I. THAT NATIONS ARE TREATED BY GOD AS RESPONSIBLE UNITS , AND ARE PUNISHED , EVEN DESTROYED , FOR THEIR SINS . It was their "evil ways," their transgression against the commandments of God, that lay at the root of Israel's rejection. The prophets Hosea and Amos paint an awful picture of the condition of Samaria under its later... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 17:7-23

Review of the history of Israel. The Bible does not simply relate, but draws aside the veil and shows us the innermost springs of God's providence, and how they work. It teaches us to understand the deepest causes of the rise and fall of nations. The causes it insists on are not economical, or political, or intellectual, but religious, and its lessons are for all time. We may say of this survey of Israel's history—these things "are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 17:9-23

A great privilege, wickedness, and ruin. "For so it was," etc. We have used the first verses of this chapter, in our last sketch, to set forth the aspects of a corrupt nation . The Israelitish people appear in that fragment of their history as an unfortunate inheritor of wrong, a guilty worker of wrong, and a terrible victim of wrong. These fifteen verses now under our notice present to us three subjects of thought—a great national privilege; a great national wickedness; and a great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 17:19

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God. The sharp contrast which the writer has drawn between Israel and Judah in 2 Kings 17:18 reminds him that the difference was only for a time. Judah followed in Israel's sins, and ultimately shared in her punishment. This verso and the next are parenthetic. But walked in the statutes of Israel which they made ; i.e. followed Israel in all her evil courses, first in her Baal-worship, under Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Athaliah; then in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 17:19

This verse and the next are parenthetical. Here again, as in 2 Kings 17:13, the writer is led on from his account of the sins and punishment of the Israelites to glance at the similar sins and similar punishment of the Jews.It was the worst reproach which could be urged against any Jewish king, that he “walked in the way of the kings of Israel” 2Ki 8:18; 2 Kings 16:3; 2 Chronicles 21:6; 2 Chronicles 28:2. The Baal worship is generally the special sin at which the phrase is leveled; but the... read more
