HE IS SLAIN BY A CONSPIRACY. (Kg2 14:17-20)
they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem--Amaziah's apostasy (Ch2 25:27) was followed by a general maladministration, especially the disastrous issue of the war with Israel. The ruinous condition of Jerusalem, the plunder of the temple, and the loss of their children who were taken as hostages [Kg2 14:13-14], lost him the respect and attachment not of the grandees only, but of his subjects generally, who were in rebellion. The king fled in terror to Lachish, a frontier town of the Philistines, where, however, he was traced and murdered. His friends had his corpse brought without any pomp or ceremony, in a chariot to Jerusalem, where he was interred among his royal ancestors. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| They made a conspiracy against him - His defeat by Jehoash, and the consequent pillaging of the temple, and emptying the royal exchequer, and the dismantling of Jerusalem, had made him exceedingly unpopular; so that probably the whole of the last fifteen years of his life were a series of troubles and distresses. |
13 And Jehoash [03060] king [04428] of Israel [03478] took [08610] Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], the son [01121] of Jehoash [03060] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], at Bethshemesh [01053], and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] from the gate [08179] of Ephraim [0669] unto the corner [06438] gate [08179], four [0702] hundred [03967] cubits [0520].
14 And he took [03947] all the gold [02091] and silver [03701], and all the vessels [03627] that were found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and hostages [01121] [08594], and returned [07725] to Samaria [08111].
27 Now after the time [06256] that Amaziah [0558] did turn away [05493] from following [0310] the LORD [03068] they made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against him in Jerusalem [03389]; and he fled [05127] to Lachish [03923]: but they sent [07971] to Lachish [03923] after [0310] him, and slew [04191] him there.
17 And Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063] lived [02421] after [0310] the death [04194] of Jehoash [03060] son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] king [04428] of Israel [03478] fifteen [02568] [06240] years [08141].
18 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Amaziah [0558], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]?
19 Now they made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against him in Jerusalem [03389]: and he fled [05127] to Lachish [03923]; but they sent [07971] after [0310] him to Lachish [03923], and slew [04191] him there.
