Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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. 2 Chronicles 25:5-10, 2 Chronicles 25:13-16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXV

Amaziah succeeds his father Joash, and begins his reign well,

1, 2.

He slays his father's murderers but spares their children, 3, 4.

He reviews and remodels the army, 5;

and hires a hundred thousand soldiers out of Israel, whom, on

the expostulation of a prophet, he sends home again, without

bringing them into active service; at which they are greatly

offended, 6-10.

He attacks the Syrians, kills ten thousand, and takes ten

thousand prisoners, whom he precipitates from the top of a

rock, so that they are dashed to pieces, 11, 12.

The Israelitish soldiers, sent back, ravage several of the

cities of Judah, 13.

Amaziah becomes an idolater, 14.

Is reproved by a prophet, whom he threatens, and obliges to

desist, 15, 16.

He challenges Joash, king of Israel, 17;

who reproves him by a parable, 18, 19.

Not desisting, the armies meet, the Jews are overthrown, and

Amaziah taken prisoner by Joash, who ravages the temple, and

takes away all the treasures of the king, 20-24.

The reign of Amaziah: a conspiracy is formed against him; he

flees to Lachish, whither he is pursued and slain; is brought

to Jerusalem, and buried with his fathers, 25-28.
