SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:30
Y Oseas hijo de Ela hizo conjuración contra Peka hijo de Remalías, y lo hirió, y lo mató, y reinó en su lugar, a los veinte años de Jotam hijo de Uzías.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:30
Verse 30. Hoshea the son of Elah-in the twentieth year of Jotham] There are many difficulties in the chronology of this place. To reconcile the whole, Calmet says: "Hoshea conspired against Pekah, the twentieth year of the reign of this prince, which was the eighteenth after the beginning of the reign of Jotham, king of Judah. Two years after this, that is, the fourth year of Ahaz, and the twentieth of Jotham, Hoshea made himself master of a part of the kingdom, according to ver. 30. Finally, the twelfth year of Ahaz, Hoshea had peaceable possession of the whole kingdom, according to chap. xvii. 1."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And Hoshea the son or Elab made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead , etc.] Did by him as he had done by Pekahiah, ( 2 Kings 15:28), this was measure for measure, as the Jews say: and this he did in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah ; and yet Jotham is said to reign but sixteen years, ( 2 Kings 15:33), this must be reckoned therefore either from the time of his being viceroy, and judging Israel in his father’s lifetime, ( 2 Kings 15:5) or this was the fourth year of Ahaz, and the twentieth year, reckoning from the time Jotham began to reign, who is the rather mentioned, because as yet the historian had taken no notice of Ahaz.
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.
