AMAZIAH BEGINS TO REIGN WELL. (Ch2 25:1-4)
Amaziah was twenty and five years old, &c.--(See Kg2 14:1-6). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| This chapter is evidently taken to a large extent from the same document as Kings (see the marginal reference and the notes). At the same time it contains large and important additions; e. g. Ch2 25:5-10, Ch2 25:13-16. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The statement as to the duration and spirit of the reign agrees with Kg2 14:1-6, except that in Ch2 25:2 the estimation of the spirit of the reign according to the standard of David, "only not as his ancestor David, but altogether as his father Joash did," which we find in the book of Kings, is replaced by "only not with a perfect heart;" and the standing formula, "only the high places were not removed," etc., is omitted. |
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].
1 Amaziah [0558] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he 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].
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].
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom [04467] was established [02388] to him, that he slew [02026] his servants [05650] that had killed [05221] the king [04428] his father [01].
4 But he slew [04191] not their children [01121], but did as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] in the book [05612] of Moses [04872], where the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], saying [0559], The fathers [01] shall not die [04191] for the children [01121], neither shall the children [01121] die [04191] for the fathers [01], but every man [0376] shall die [04191] for his own sin [02399].
13 But the soldiers [01121] of the army [01416] which Amaziah [0558] sent back [07725], that they should not go [03212] with him to battle [04421], fell [06584] upon the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], from Samaria [08111] even unto Bethhoron [01032], and smote [05221] three [07969] thousand [0505] of them, and took [0962] much [07227] spoil [0961].
14 Now it came to pass, after [0310] that Amaziah [0558] was come [0935] from the slaughter [05221] of the Edomites [0130], that he brought [0935] the gods [0430] of the children [01121] of Seir [08165], and set them up [05975] to be his gods [0430], and bowed down [07812] himself before [06440] them, and burned incense [06999] unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Amaziah [0558], and he sent [07971] unto him a prophet [05030], which said [0559] unto him, Why hast thou sought [01875] after the gods [0430] of the people [05971], which could not deliver [05337] their own people [05971] out of thine hand [03027]?
16 And it came to pass, as he talked [01696] with him, that the king said [0559] unto him, Art thou made [05414] of the king's [04428] counsel [03289]? forbear [02308]; why shouldest thou be smitten [05221]? Then the prophet [05030] forbare [02308], and said [0559], I know [03045] that God [0430] hath determined [03289] to destroy [07843] thee, because thou hast done [06213] this, and hast not hearkened [08085] unto my counsel [06098].
5 Moreover Amaziah [0558] gathered [06908] Judah [03063] together [06908], and made [05975] them captains [08269] over thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over hundreds [03967], according to the houses [01004] of their fathers [01], throughout all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144]: and he numbered [06485] them from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605], and found [04672] them three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] choice [0977] men, able to go forth [03318] to war [06635], that could handle [0270] spear [07420] and shield [06793].
6 He hired [07936] also an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] mighty [01368] men of valour [02428] out of Israel [03478] for an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701].
7 But there came [0935] a man [0376] of God [0430] to him, saying [0559], O king [04428], let not the army [06635] of Israel [03478] go [0935] with thee; for the LORD [03068] is not with Israel [03478], to wit, with all the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669].
8 But if thou wilt go [0935], do [06213] it, be strong [02388] for the battle [04421]: God [0430] shall make thee fall [03782] before [06440] the enemy [0341]: for God [0430] hath [03426] power [03581] to help [05826], and to cast down [03782].
9 And Amaziah [0558] said [0559] to the man [0376] of God [0430], But what shall we do [06213] for the hundred [03967] talents [03603] which I have given [05414] to the army [01416] of Israel [03478]? And the man [0376] of God [0430] answered [0559], The LORD [03068] is [03426] able to give [05414] thee much more [07235] than this.
10 Then Amaziah [0558] separated [0914] them, to wit, the army [01416] that was come [0935] to him out of Ephraim [0669], to go [03212] home [04725] again [03212]: wherefore their anger [0639] was greatly [03966] kindled [02734] against Judah [03063], and they returned [07725] home [04725] in great [02750] anger [0639].
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].
