2 Reyes 17:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:1

In the tenth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the
son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
] In this account there is some difficulty, since it was in the twentieth of Jotham, that is, the fourth of Ahaz, that Hosea conspired against Pekah king of Israel, and slew him, when it might be reasonably thought he began his reign: now either there was an interregnum until the twelfth of Ahaz, or Hoshea however was not generally received and acknowledged as king till then, as others think; he being a tributary to the king of Assyria, and a kind of viceroy, is not said to reign until he rebelled against him; after which he reigned nine years, four in the times of Ahaz, and five in the reign of Hezekiah, ( 2 Kings 18:9 2 Kings 18:10 ) , in this way the author of the Jewish chronology goes ^F18, in which he is followed by other Jewish writers; and this bids as fair as any to remove the difficulty, unless these nine years refer to the time of his reign before the twelfth of Ahaz; and the sense be, that in the twelfth of Ahaz he had reigned nine year's; but it is said he "began" to reign then.

2 Reyes 17:1 In-Context

1 En el año duodécimo de Acaz rey de Judá, comenzó a reinar Oseas hijo de Ela en Samaria sobre Israel; y reinó nueve años

2 E hizo lo malo ante los ojos del SEÑOR, aunque no como los reyes de Israel que antes de él habían sido

3 Contra éste subió Salmanasar rey de los Asirios; y Oseas fue hecho su siervo, y le daba presente

4 Mas el rey de Asiria halló que Oseas hacía conjuración; porque había enviado embajadores a So, rey de Egipto, y ya no daba presente al rey de Asiria, como cada año; y el rey de Asiria le detuvo, y le aprisionó en la casa de la cárcel

5 Y el rey de Asiria subió por toda la tierra, y subió contra Samaria, y la cercó tres años
