Commentary on 2 Kings 14:19

Theological / Devotional

Conspiracy. Amaziah was evidently far from popular in Judah. His rash challenge to Jehoash, his disastrous defeat, the humiliation connected with the tearing down of a large part of the wall of Jerusalem, the seizure of hostages, and the loss of the Temple and palace treasures probably all contributed to make the people bitter against their ruler.

Lachish. A city now generally identified with Tell ed-Duweir, about 27 mi. (43.2 km.) southwest of Jerusalem.
