Matthew Henry's Complete Bible Commentary

2 Chronicles 25

Amaziah’s reign, recorded in this chapter, was not one of the worse and yet for from good. Most of the passages in this chapter we had before more briefly related, 2 Kings 14:1-14:22 Here we find Amaziah, I. A just revenger of his father’s death, 2 Chronicles 25:1-25:4. II. An obedient observer of the command of God, 2 Chronicles 25:5-25:10. III. A cruel conqueror of the Edomites, 2 Chronicles 25:11-25:13. IV. A foolish worshipper of the gods of Edom and impatient of reproof for it, 2 Chronicles 25:14-25:16. V. Rashly challenging the king of Israel, and smarting for his rashness, 2 Chronicles 25:17-25:24. And, lastly, ending his days ingloriously, 2 Chronicles 25:25-25:28. MHBCC 393.1
