Commentary on 2 Kings 14 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 14
This chapter continues the history of the succession in the kingdoms both of Judah and Israel.
How many great men are made to stand in a little compass in God's book!
2Ki 14:1-7
Amaziah, the son and successor of Joash, is the king whom here we have an account of. Let us take a view of him,
2Ki 14:8-14
For several successions after the division of the kingdoms that of Judah suffered much by the enmity of Israel. After Asa's time, for several successions, it suffered more by the friendship of Israel, and by the alliance and affinity made with them. But now we meet with hostility between them again, which had not been for some ages before.

2Ki 14:23-29
