Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nKg2 14:1, Amaziah's good reign; Kg2 14:5, His justice on the murderers of his father; Kg2 14:7, His victory over Edom; Kg2 14:8, Amaziah, provoking Jehoash, is overcome and spoiled; Kg2 14:15, Jeroboam succeeds Jehoash; Kg2 14:17, Amaziah slain by a conspiracy; Kg2 14:21, Azariah succeeds him; v.23, Jeroboam's wicked reign; v.28, Zachariah succeeds him.\nam 3165, bc 839\nreigned Amaziah: Ch1 3:12; Ch2 25:1-4\nam 3165-3194, bc 839-810\nhe did: Kg2 12:2; Kg1 11:4, Kg1 15:3; Ch2 25:2, Ch2 25:3\nhe did according: Ch2 24:2, Ch2 24:17, Ch2 25:14-16; Jer 16:19; Zac 1:4-6; Pe1 1:18\nthe high places: Kg2 12:3, Kg2 15:4, Kg2 15:35\nam 3166, bc 838\nthat he slew: Gen 9:6; Exo 21:12-14; Num 35:33\nhis servants: Kg2 12:20, Kg2 12:21; Ch2 25:3, Ch2 25:4\nThe fathers: Deu 24:16; Eze 18:4, Eze 18:20\nam 3177, bc 827\nslew: Kg2 8:20-22; Ch2 25:11, Ch2 25:12\nthe valley of salt: Some suppose that the Valley of Salt was south of the Dead, or Salt Sea, towards the land of Edom; and others suppose it to be the Valley of Salt, about three or four miles south-east of Palmyra, which now supplies, in a great measure, the surrounding country with salt. Sa2 8:13; Ch1 18:12; Psa 60:1 *title\nSelah: or, the rock, Selah is generally supposed to be the same as Petra, which in Greek signifies a rock, the celebrated capital of Arabia Petrea. Strabo places it three or four days' journey from Jericho, and five days' journey from the forest of palm trees on the Red Sea. Pliny places it 600 miles from Gaza, and 125 from the Persian Gulf; but Cellarius and Reland very justly consider that the numbers have been changed, and that we ought to read 125 miles from Gaza, and 600 from the Persian Gulf. Eusebius places Beerothbenejaakan 30 miles west from Petra, and Elath ten miles east; and Burckhardt discovered the ruins of this ancient city in a valley called Wady Mousa.\nJoktheel: Jos 15:38\nam 3178, bc 826\nAmaziah: Ch2 25:17-24\nCome: Kg2 14:11; Sa2 2:14-17; Pro 13:10, Pro 17:14, Pro 18:6, Pro 20:18, Pro 25:8\nThe thistle: Jdg 9:8-15; Sa2 12:1-4; Kg1 4:33; Eze 20:49; The word choach, which is rendered here, and in Ch2 25:18; Job 31:18, thistle, in Sa1 13:6, thicket in Isa 34:13, bramble, and in Ch2 33:11; Pro 26:9; Sol 2:2; Hos 9:6 thorn, is probably the black thorn, or sloe tree, the prunus spinosa of Linneus, as the same word signifies in Arabic. There is a vast deal of insolent dignity in this remonstrance of Jehoash; but it has nothing conciliatory; no proposal of making amends for the injury his army had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah (Ch2 25:10-13). The comparatively useless thorn, which may by chance lacerate the incautious passenger, is made the emblem of the house of Judah and David, while the house of Jehu is represented by the stately cedar.\nthine heart: Deu 8:14; Ch2 26:16, Ch2 32:25; Pro 16:18; Eze 38:2, Eze 38:5, Eze 38:17; Dan 5:20-23; Hab 2:4; Jam 4:6\nglory of this: Exo 8:9; Jer 9:23, Jer 9:24; Jam 1:9\nhome: Heb. thy house\nwhy shouldest: Ch2 35:21; Pro 3:30, Pro 15:18, Pro 17:14, Pro 20:3, Pro 25:8, Pro 26:17; Luk 14:31, Luk 14:32\nBethshemesh: Jos 19:38, Jos 21:16; Sa1 6:9-19\nwas put to the worse: Heb. was smitten\nthey fled: Sa1 4:10; Sa2 18:17; Kg1 22:36\ntook Amaziah: Kg2 25:6; Ch2 33:11, Ch2 36:6, Ch2 36:10; Job 40:11, Job 40:12; Pro 16:18, Pro 29:23; Isa 2:11, Isa 2:12; Dan 4:37; Luk 14:11\nthe gate of Ephraim: Ch2 25:23, Ch2 25:24; Neh 8:16, Neh 12:39\nthe corner: Jer 31:38; Zac 14:10\nall the gold: Kg2 24:13, Kg2 25:15; Kg1 7:51, Kg1 14:26, Kg1 15:18\nand hostages: Kg2 18:23 *marg.\nam 3163-3179, bc 841-825\nthe rest: Kg2 10:34, Kg2 10:35, Kg2 13:12; Kg1 14:19, Kg1 14:20\nam 3179, bc 825\nwas buried: Kg2 13:9\nJeroboam: Kg2 13:13; Hos 1:1; Amo 1:1, Amo 7:10, Amo 7:11\nam 3179-3194, bc 825-810\nAmaziah: Kg2 14:1, Kg2 14:2, Kg2 14:23, Kg2 13:10; Ch2 25:25-28\nKg2 13:8, Kg2 13:12; Kg1 11:41, Kg1 14:29\nam 3194, bc 810\nthey made: Kg2 12:20, Kg2 12:21, Kg2 15:10, Kg2 15:14, Kg2 15:25, Kg2 15:30, Kg2 21:23; Ch2 25:27, Ch2 25:28\nfled to Lachish: Jos 10:31; Mic 1:13\nhe was buried: Kg2 8:24, Kg2 9:28, Kg2 12:21; Kg1 2:10, Kg1 11:43; Ch2 21:20, Ch2 26:23, Ch2 33:20\nAzariah: Kg2 15:13; Ch2 26:1, Uzziah, Mat 1:8, Mat 1:9, Ozias\nmade him king: Kg2 21:24; Ch1 3:12\nElath: Elath, the Ala or Elana of the Greek and Roman writers, was a celebrated port situated at the extremity of the eastern branch of the Red Sea, hence called the Elanitic Gulf, ten miles east from Petra, according to Eusebius, and 150; Roman miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260 stadia, or 157 miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota. It is now called Akaba, and is nothing but a tower or castle, surrounded by a large grove of date trees, the residence of a governor, dependent on him of Grand Cairo.
