SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:25
Y conjuró contra él Peka hijo de Remalías, capitán suyo, y lo hirió en Samaria, en el palacio de la casa real, en compañía de Argob y de Arie, y con otros cincuenta hombres de los hijos de los galaaditas; y lo mató, y reinó en su lugar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:25
Verse 25. Smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh] Who Argob and Arieh were we know not; some make them men, some make them statues. Pekah had fifty Gileadites in the conspiracy with him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his , etc.] The word signifies a “third” man, the third to the king, as some think; Josephus f172 calls him a “chiliarch”, one that had the command of a thousand men: conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s house ; Josephus says it was at a banquet: with Argob, and Arieh ; whom, according to Abarbinel, Pekah slew with the king, being mighty men, who were always about him; but they seem rather to be conspirators with Pekah, and assisting to him in smiting the king; the former of these, Ben Gersom thinks, was governor of Argob, a country on the other side Jordan, and the latter had his name from his fortitude, which signifies a lion: and with him fifty men of the Gileadites ; which may seem to strengthen the above notion concerning Argob, since the Gileadites were of the same side of Jordan, and were near Argob, (see Deuteronomy 3:13) and he killed him, and reigned in his room , as his father killed Shallum, and reigned in his stead.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-31 - This history shows Israel in confusion. Though Judah was not withou troubles, yet that kingdom was happy, compared with the state of Israel. The imperfections of true believers are very different from the allowed wickedness of ungodly men. Such is human nature, such are ou hearts, if left to themselves, deceitful above all things, an desperately wicked. We have reason to be thankful for restraints, for being kept out of temptation, and should beg of God to renew a righ spirit within us.
