SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:20
Y se levantaron sus siervos, y conspiraron en conjuración, y hirieron a Joás en la casa de Millo, descendiendo él a Silla.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 12:20
Verse 20. The house of Millo] Was a royal palace, built by David; (see 2 Sam. v. 9;) and Silla is supposed to be the name of the road or causeway that led to it. Millo was situated between the old city of Jerusalem, and the city of David.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And his servants arose , etc.] This was after he had slain Zechariah the son of Jehoiada, who reproved him for his idolatry; and after a second expedition of the king of Syria, who came to Jerusalem, and spoiled it, and left Jehoash diseased, as is recorded in ( 2 Chronicles 24:23-26), and made a conspiracy ; not to get the kingdom into their hands, for his son succeeded him, but to avenge the death of Zechariah; and slew Jehoash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla ; these are both names of places; perhaps the latter is mentioned, to distinguish this Bethmillo from Millo in Zion; or rather that itself is meant, and described by the descent from it to a causeway, as Silla may signify, which led to the royal palace.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-21 - Let us review the character of Jehoash, and consider what we may lear from it. When we see what a sad conclusion there was to so promising beginning, it ought to make us seek into our spiritual declinings. I we know any thing of Christ as the foundation of our faith and hope let us desire to know nothing but Christ. May the work of the blesse Spirit on our souls be manifest; may we see, feel, and be earnest, in seeking after Jesus in all his fulness, suitableness, and grace, tha our souls may be brought over from dead works to serve the living an true God __________________________________________________________________
