AMAZIAH'S GOOD REIGN OVER JUDAH. (Kg2 14:1-6)
He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father--The beginning of his reign was excellent, for he acted the part of a constitutional king, according to the law of God, yet not with perfect sincerity of heart (compare Ch2 25:2). As in the case of his father Joash, the early promise was belied by the devious course he personally followed in later life (see Ch2 20:14), as well as by the public irregularities he tolerated in the kingdom. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| He did ... as Joash - There is a curious parity between the lives of Joash and Amaziah. Both were zealous for Yahweh in the earlier portion of their reigns, but in the latter part fell away; both disregarded the rebukes of prophets; and both, having forsaken God, were in the end conspired against and slain (compare Ch2 24:25; Ch2 25:27). |
14 Then upon Jahaziel [03166] the son [01121] of Zechariah [02148], the son [01121] of Benaiah [01141], the son [01121] of Jeiel [03273], the son [01121] of Mattaniah [04983], a Levite [03881] of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623], came the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] in the midst [08432] of the congregation [06951];
2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], but not with a perfect [08003] heart [03824].
1 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Joash [03101] son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03099] king [04428] of Israel [03478] reigned [04427] Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063].
2 He was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and nine [08672] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jehoaddan [03086] of Jerusalem [03389].
3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], yet [07535] not like David [01732] his father [01]: he did [06213] according to all things as Joash [03101] his father [01] did [06213].
4 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493]: as yet [05750] the people [05971] did sacrifice [02076] and burnt incense [06999] on the high places [01116].
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom [04467] was confirmed [02388] in his hand [03027], that he slew [05221] his servants [05650] which had slain [05221] the king [04428] his father [01].
6 But the children [01121] of the murderers [05221] he slew [04191] not: according unto that which is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], wherein the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], saying [0559], The fathers [01] shall not be put to death [04191] for the children [01121], nor the children [01121] be put to death [04191] for the fathers [01]; but every man [0376] shall be put to death [04191] for his own sin [02399].
27 Now after the time [06256] that Amaziah [0558] did turn away [05493] from following [0310] the LORD [03068] they made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against him in Jerusalem [03389]; and he fled [05127] to Lachish [03923]: but they sent [07971] to Lachish [03923] after [0310] him, and slew [04191] him there.
25 And when they were departed [03212] from him, (for they left [05800] him in great [07227] diseases [04251],) his own servants [05650] conspired [07194] against him for the blood [01818] of the sons [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], and slew [02026] him on his bed [04296], and he died [04191]: and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732], but they buried [06912] him not in the sepulchres [06913] of the kings [04428].
