Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
next to the king: Heb. the second to the king, Genesis 41:43, Genesis 43:12, Genesis 43:15, Esther 10:3
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son,.... Who therefore must have escaped being burnt in the valley of Hinnom, or only was caused to pass through the fire there, 2 Chronicles 28:3,
and Azrikam the governor of the house; steward or treasurer in the king's house, in the same office as Sheban was, Isaiah 22:15
and Elkanah that was next to the king: prime minister of state.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Maaseiah was either an officer called “the king’s son” (compare 1 Kings 22:26), or perhaps a son of Jotham, since Ahaz could hardly have had a son old enough to take part in the battle (compare 2 Chronicles 28:1).
Elkanah, as “second to the king,” was probably the chief of the royal counselors.
