Commentary

But Amaziah would not hear,.... What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt: for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies; Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry: because they sought after the gods of Edom; he and his nobles, and many of the people following his example; from hence to the end of the chapter the same things are recorded as in Kg2 14:11 , see the notes there; see Gill on Kg2 14:11 , Kg2 14:12 , Kg2 14:13 , Kg2 14:14 , Kg2 14:15 , Kg2 14:16 , Kg2 14:17 , Kg2 14:18 , Kg2 14:19 , Kg2 14:20 Next: 2 Chronicles Chapter 26 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: 2 Chronicles:...
