Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-13

Here is, I. The general character of Amaziah: He did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, worshipped the true God, kept the temple service a going, and countenanced religion in his kingdom; but he did not do it with a perfect heart (2 Chron. 25:2), that is, he was not a man of serious piety or devotion himself, nor had he any zeal for the exercises of religion. He was no enemy to it, but a cool and indifferent friend. Such is the character of too many in this Laodicean age: they do... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:12

And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive ,.... The rest of the army of the Edomites, which amounted to the same number, fell into their hands, and they took them, and carried them off: and brought them unto the top of the rock ; very probably the same on which the city Petra, the metropolis of Edom, was built, called also Selah, 2 Kings 14:7 both which names signify a rock. Josephus F7 Antiqu. l. 9. c. 9. sect. 1. calls it the great rock in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Another type of uncertain character. We are at once advised, in refer-once to Amaziah, that he "did right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart." The expression might be supposed to cover the description of a man whose life was in the main right, but who was betrayed by temptation into some serious sins, of which, like David, he bitterly repented, but genuinely repented, and was restored to peace -rod favour. No such interpretation, however, is here possible. And as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:5-13

A campaign against the Edomites. I. WARLIKE PREPARATIONS . ( 2 Chronicles 25:5 , 2 Chronicles 25:6 .) 1 . The army mustered. "Amaziah gathered Judah together;" i.e. collected for review, probably in Jerusalem, all in the southern kingdom who were capable of bearing arms. 2 . The army organized. "He made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin." Compare Samuel's prediction ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:12

The top of the rock . The parallel uses the Hebrew word without translation, Selah ( הַסֶּלַע ). There is little doubt that this is Petra . The parallel tells us the interesting fact that Amaziah, perhaps under the influence of a spasmodic touch of devout-hess or gratitude, changed the name of Selah, or rather endeavoured to change it, to Joktheel, which Gesenius translates "subjugated of God." This name had already occurred in Joshua 15:38 . The new name, however, did not last, as... read more

The top of the rock - Rather, “the height of Selah” (or, Petra), near which the battle was probably fought. On the cruel features of the Edomite wars, see 1 Kings 11:15; Ezekiel 25:12; Obadiah 1:14. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 25:11-12

2 Chronicles 25:11-12. Amaziah strengthened himself With his own men only. And smote of the children of Seir ten thousand Who, it appears, were left dead upon the field. How many were only wounded: and not killed, we are not told; but undoubtedly not a few. Other ten thousand did the children of Judah cast down from the rock A most cruel execution, which can no way be justified, unless the children of Seir had been used to serve in that manner all they took captive of Judah. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Prosperity followed by disaster (25:1-28:27)Succeeding kings of Israel are passed over in silence (2 Kings 13:1-25). Judah was to have nothing to do with the northern kingdom, not even to the hiring of Israelite soldiers. Amaziah took the advice, and was rewarded with victory in a battle against Edom. But the victory, instead of increasing his dependence on God, gave him a feeling of independence. He turned from God and worshipped idols. The ungodly northern kingdom then became God’s instrument... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 25:1-28

I. Amaziah ch. 25The Chronicler selected three events from Amaziah’s reign to teach important spiritual lessons.First, Amaziah followed the Mosaic Law faithfully in dealing with the people who had killed his father (2 Chronicles 25:1-4; cf. Deuteronomy 24:16). These actions transpired at the beginning of his reign.Second, the king obeyed God partially in his war with the Edomites (2 Chronicles 25:5-16). He unwisely hired mercenary soldiers to help him rather than seeking the Lord’s help (2... read more
