2 Chronicles 28:12-14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:6-15

We have here, I. Treacherous Judah under the rebukes of God's providence, and they are very severe. Never was such bloody work made among them since they were a kingdom, and by Israelites too. Ahaz walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and the king of Israel was the instrument God made use of for his punishment. It is just with God to make those our plagues whom we make our patterns or make ourselves partners with in sin. A war broke out between Judah and Israel, in which Judah was... read more

Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim ,.... Of the principal men of the ten tribes, whose names follow: Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war ; who were bringing the captives and spoils to Samaria; but these princes, being influenced by what the prophet said, hindered their proceeding any further. read more

And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither ,.... That is, into Samaria, near which it seems they now were: for whereas we have offended against the Lord already ; by exceeding in their cruelty against their brethren of Judah, as well as by worshipping the calves: ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass : by making slaves of those they had taken captives, which was against the express law of God: for your trespass is great ; which they had... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:14

So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and the congregation. Which were come out of Samaria to meet them; such an effect had the word's of the prophet, and the princes, upon them, that they not only left the captives with them, but the spoil, to dispose of, as they thought fit. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

This King Ahaz: the progress of a king literally devoid of religion. In such words, the significance of which no one can mistake, is the royal person who is the chief subject of this chapter pointed to ( 2 Chronicles 28:22 ). Ahaz is the bad son of a good father. He is a type of those who begin badly, who are untaught by experience, who grow worse by suffering and adversity, and who end by maddening themselves, to their own destruction! The career of his father Jotham is written,... read more

This is that King Ahaz. I. A DEGENERATE SON . Aliaz, "Grasper" or "Possessor." In the Tigiath-Plleser inscriptions, which probably confounded him with the son of Jehoram ( 2 Chronicles 21:17 ), he is called Jehoahaz, "Whom Jehovah grasps," though the Scripture writers may have dropped the prefix "Jeho-" on account of his wickedness. 1 . He possessed his father ' s nature. Of necessity, as his father's son ( Genesis 5:3 ). Yet he improved not upon that nature, but rather... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:9-15

Divine and human pity. A very striking and a most unusual incident is here related; it has very few parallels in the page of ancient history. The hand that struck down the enemy very rarely failed to strike him when he was down. Here we have a refreshing picture of human relenting; of men who had just presented the cup of woe putting to the lips of the suffering a cup of mercy. But first we have a picture of— I. DIVINE PITY IN THE MIDST OF DIVINE PENALTY . It is clear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:12

Oded's appeal, and forcible but most temperate and pertinent argument of the previous verses, was addressed to those who led the returning army, flushed with victory and haughty with their captives led in triumph, and, as 2 Chronicles 28:15 shows, cruelly, and with every deprivation of clothes and of shoes, etc. It now, however, fortunately meets with most welcome practical support from those ( certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim ) who had not had a hand in what had been done,... read more
