SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
Además Joás rey de Israel tomó a Amasías rey de Judá, hijo de Joás, hijo de Ocozías, en Bet-semes; y vino a Jerusalén, y rompió el muro de Jerusalén desde la puerta de Efraín hasta la puerta de la esquina, cuatrocientos codos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 14:13
Verse 13. Took Amaziah king of Judah] It is plain that Amaziah afterwards had his liberty; but how or on what terms he got it, is not known. See on the following verse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh , etc.] And then they looked one another in the face indeed, but Amaziah must look very silly: and came to Jerusalem ; the metropolis of Judah, with his royal prisoner: and broke down the wall of Jerusalem ; in at the breach of which he went with his chariot, as Josephus says f152 , in triumph: from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits ; the gate of Ephraim was to the north of the city, towards the tribe of Ephraim, from whence it had its name; and the corner gate was that which joined the northern and western walls together, or rather the northern and eastern walls; for Rauwolff says f153 , there is still the corner gate in its old place, where the north and east walls meet on large and high rocks, and is still called by some the gate of Naphtali.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-14 - For some time after the division of the kingdoms, Judah suffered muc from the enmity of Israel. After Asa's time, it suffered more by the friendship of Israel, and by the alliance made with them. Now we mee with hostility between them again. How may a humble man smile to hea two proud and scornful men set their wits on work, to vilify an undervalue one another! Unholy success excites pride; pride excite contentions. The effects of pride in others, are insufferable to thos who are proud themselves. These are the sources of trouble and sin in private life; but when they arise between princes, they become the misery of their whole kingdoms. Jehoash shows Amaziah the folly of his challenge; Thine heart has lifted thee up. The root of all sin is in the heart, thence it flows. It is not Providence, the event, the occasion, whatever it is, that makes men proud, secure, discontented or the like, but their own hearts do it. (2Ki 14:15-22)
