SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:25
Y yéndose de él los sirios, lo dejaron en muchas enfermedades; y conspiraron contra él sus siervos a causa de la sangre de los hijos de Joiada el sacerdote, y le hirieron en su cama, y murió; y le sepultaron en la ciudad de David, mas no lo sepultaron en los sepulcros de los reyes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And when they were departed from him , etc.] Having got what wealth and spoil they could: for they left him in great diseases ; through the wounds they gave him, and the distress they brought him into: his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest ; for perhaps more than one was slain at the same time; the rest vindicating the cause of their brother, shared the same fate; or the plural is put for the singular: and slew him on his bed ; in the house of Millo, where he lay ill of his wounds, and sick of his diseases, and could not defend himself: and he died : of the wounds his servants gave him: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings ; (see 2 Kings 12:21).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-27 - See what a great judgment on any prince or people, the death of godly zealous, useful men is. See how necessary it is that we act in religio from inward principle. Then the loss of a parent, a minister, or friend, will not be losing our religion. Often both princes an inferior people have been flattered to their ruin. True grace alon will enable a man to bring forth fruit unto the end. Zechariah, the so of Jehoiada, being filled with the Spirit of prophecy, stood up, an told the people of their sin. This is the work of ministers, by the word of God, as a lamp and a light, to discover the sin of men, an expound the providences of God. They stoned Zechariah to death in the court of the house of the Lord. Observe the dying martyr's words: The Lord look upon it, and require it! This came not from a spirit of revenge, but a spirit of prophecy. God smote Joash with great diseases of body, or mind, or both, before the Syrians departed from him. I vengeance pursue men, the end of one trouble will be but the beginnin of another. His own servants slew him. These judgments are called the burdens laid upon him, for the wrath of God is a heavy burden, to heavy for any man to bear. May God help us to take warning, to be upright in heart, and to persevere in his ways to the end __________________________________________________________________
