SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:27
De sus hijos, y de la multiplicación que hizo de las rentas, y de la reparación de la Casa del SEÑOR, he aquí está escrito en la historia del libro de los reyes. Y reinó en su lugar Amasías su hijo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:27
Verse 27. The greatness of the burdens laid upon him] Meaning, probably, the heavy tribute laid upon him by the Syrians; though some think the vast sums amassed for the repairs of the temple are here intended. Written in the story] rdm midrash, the commentary, of the book of Kings. We have met with this before; but these works are all lost, except the extracts found in Kings, Chronicles, and Ezra. These abridgments were the cause of the neglect, and finally of the destruction, of the originals.
This has been often the case in works of great consequence. Trogus Pompeius wrote a general history of the world, which he brought down to the reign of Augustus, in forty-four volumes. Justin abridged them into one volume, and the original is lost.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. Now concerning his sons , etc.] The sons of Joash; how many they were, and what their names: and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him ; which some understand of the hard and heavy prophecies of the Lord against him; and others of the heavy taxes and tribute imposed on him by the king of Syria; and others of the collection for the repairs of the temple, ( 2 Chronicles 24:6), where the word used signifies a burden; and it follows, and the repairing of the house of the Lord ; the whole history of that: behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings ; not in the canonical book so called, but in the history, commentaries, or annals of the kings of Judah now lost: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead ; (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 __________________________________________________________________
