Zachariah
After an interregnum of 11 years. (Kg2 15:8). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Jeroboam - It was in the reign of this Jeroboam, that Hosea began to prophesy, and he was the first that wrote his prophecies. At the same time Amos prophesied, soon after Micah, and then Isaiah in the days of Ahaz and Hezekiah. Thus God never left himself without witness, but in the darkest ages of the church, raised up some to be burning and shining lights, to their own age, by their preaching and living; and a few by their writings to reflect light upon us, on whom the ends of the world are come. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Jeroboam slept with his fathers - He died a natural death; and was regularly succeeded by his son Zachariah, who, reigning badly, was, after six months, slain by Shallum, who succeeded him, and reigned but one month, being slain by Menahem, who succeeded him, and reigned ten years over Israel. Amos the prophet lived in the reign of Jeroboam; and was accused by Amaziah, one of the idolatrous priests of Beth-el, of having predicted the death of Jeroboam by the sword, but this was a slander: what he did predict, and which came afterwards to pass, may be seen Amo 7:10-17. The interregnum referred to in the margin cannot be accounted for in a satisfactory manner. |
8 In the thirty [07970] [08141] and eighth [08083] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did Zachariah [02148] the son [01121] of Jeroboam [03379] reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] six [08337] months [02320].
10 Then Amaziah [0558] the priest [03548] of Bethel [01008] sent [07971] to Jeroboam [03379] king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Amos [05986] hath conspired [07194] against thee in the midst [07130] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: the land [0776] is not able [03201] to bear [03557] all his words [01697].
11 For thus Amos [05986] saith [0559], Jeroboam [03379] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], and Israel [03478] shall surely [01540] be led away captive [01540] out of their own land [0127].
12 Also Amaziah [0558] said [0559] unto Amos [05986], O thou seer [02374], go [03212], flee thee away [01272] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and there eat [0398] bread [03899], and prophesy [05012] there:
13 But prophesy [05012] not again [03254] any more at Bethel [01008]: for it is the king's [04428] chapel [04720], and it is the king's [04467] court [01004].
14 Then answered [06030] Amos [05986], and said [0559] to Amaziah [0558], I was no prophet [05030], neither was I a prophet's [05030] son [01121]; but I was an herdman [0951], and a gatherer [01103] of sycomore fruit [08256]:
15 And the LORD [03068] took [03947] me as I followed [0310] the flock [06629], and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Go [03212], prophesy [05012] unto my people [05971] Israel [03478].
16 Now therefore hear [08085] thou the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: Thou sayest [0559], Prophesy [05012] not against Israel [03478], and drop [05197] not thy word against the house [01004] of Isaac [03446].
17 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thy wife [0802] shall be an harlot [02181] in the city [05892], and thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], and thy land [0127] shall be divided [02505] by line [02256]; and thou shalt die [04191] in [05921] a polluted [02931] land [0127]: and Israel [03478] shall surely [01540] go into captivity [01540] forth of his land [0127].
