2 Kings 15:30

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 15:1-38

2 Kings 15:0 1. In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 2. Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3. And he did that which was right [Azariah supported the legitimate worship, and lent his countenance to no foreign cultus] in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; 4. Save that the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 15:8-37

I bring the whole into this compass, not only for the sake of brevity, but because the observations which are suited to one reign more or less will suit them all. Short as this chapter is, the events of it include a period of near 70 years; in which we have a succession of monarchs short in their lives, short in their reign, and for the most part full of evil. If the Reader feels disposed to examine into the length of each, a short calculation will soon enable him to ascertain the whole. But... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:30

In the twentieth year of Joatham. That is, in the twentieth year from the beginning of Joatham's reign. The sacred writer chooses rather to follow here this date, tan to speak of the years of Achaz, who had not yet been mentioned. (Challoner) --- But Joatham reigned only 16 years, (ver. 33.) so that this was the fourth year of Achaz. (Haydock) --- Usher says that Osee did not ascend the throne till nine years after the death of Phacee, as he is asserted to have commenced his reign in the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 15:8-31

8-31 This history shows Israel in confusion. Though Judah was not without troubles, yet that kingdom was happy, compared with the state of Israel. The imperfections of true believers are very different from the allowed wickedness of ungodly men. Such is human nature, such are our hearts, if left to themselves, deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. We have reason to be thankful for restraints, for being kept out of temptation, and should beg of God to renew a right spirit within... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 15:23-31

Pekahiah and Pekah in Israel v. 23. In the fiftieth year of Azariah, king of Judah, probably after some months of anarchistic turmoil, Pekahiah, the son of Menahem, began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years. v. 24. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, his idolatry with the calves having persisted through all the history of Israel. v. 25. But Pekah, the son of Remaliah,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 15:23-38

Usurpers and Invaders 2 Kings 15:23-38 The dissolution of Israel proceeded rapidly, for nothing could avert the steady advance of the Assyrian. According to the usual policy of Eastern conquerors, the flower of the nation was sent beyond the Euphrates to people the thinly inhabited portions of the Assyrian empire; and when this process was completed, new settlers were brought from Assyria to occupy the depopulated land, 2 Kings 17:24 . The cuneiform inscriptions discovered at Nineveh contain... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 15:1-38

The throne of Judah was occupied by Azariah, the Uzziah of Isaiah. In the main, his reign was characterized by obedience to the divine will, yet the people continued in sin, and the king was smitten with leprosy. Going back to Israel, we find Zechariah succeeded Jeroboam. His life and reign were characterized by sin. Now begins a period the most terrible, in some respects, of all Israel's history. To the throne of Israel man succeeded man by way of murder. Zechariah was slain by Shallurn, who... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 15:27-31

The Reign Of Pekah King Of Israel c. 739-732/31 BC (2 Kings 15:27-31 ). The appeasement party having been defeated, and their king overthrown, Israel became mainly anti-appeasment, and as such would unite with others in order to be ready to oppose Assyria. One of the main parties in the conspiracy along with Pekah was Rezin king of Aram. Other interested parties included Philistia and Edom, and they had (false) hopes of assistance from Egypt. How were they to know that Egypt, which had always... read more

2 Kings 15:8-Zechariah : . Last Kings of Israel.— Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned but six months ( 2 Kings 15:8), and was killed by Shallum, probably, as LXX (L) reads, “ in Ibleam,” instead of the Heb., which is doubtfully rendered “ before the people” ( 2 Kings 15:10). After a month 2 Kings 15:8 reign Shallum was killed by Menahem ( 2 Kings 15:14-Song of Solomon :). 2 Kings 15:19 .
