Commentary

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:17

Theological / Devotional

Took advice. But not with God. Having forsaken the Lord, he turned for counsel to men whose advice was contrary to the divine will and which brought upon him the judgments God had determined. Verses 17-24, dealing with Amaziah’s rash challenge to Jehoash and Amaziah’s disastrous defeat, are parallel to 2 Kings 14:8-14 (see comments there).

Let us see one another. This was a challenge to war.
