CHAP. XXV.
Amaziah's reign, recorded in this chapter, was not one of the worse and yet for from good. Most of the passages in this chapter we had before more briefly related, 2 Kings 14:1-22 Here we find Amaziah, I. A just revenger of his father's death, 2 Chronicles 25:1-4. II. An obedient observer of the command of God, 2 Chronicles 25:5-10. III. A cruel conqueror of the Edomites, 2 Chronicles 25:11-13. IV. A foolish worshipper of the gods of Edom and impatient of reproof for it, 2 Chronicles 25:14-16. V. Rashly challenging the king of Israel, and smarting for his rashness, 2 Chronicles 25:17-24. And, lastly, ending his days ingloriously, 2 Chronicles 25:25-28.
