2 Crônicas 24:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:23

And it came to pass at the end of the year
After the death of Zechariah; so soon had his prophecy its accomplishment:

that the host of Syria came up against him;
against Joash, king of Judah, under Hazael king of Syria, or however sent by him; for some think this is a different expedition from that in ( 2 Kings 12:17 ) though others take it to be the same:

and they came to Judah and Jerusalem;
not only came into the land of Judah, but as far as Jerusalem, the forces of Joash not being able to stop them:

and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people;
the idolatrous princes of Judah, ( 2 Chronicles 24:17 ) , which is very remarkable that they should be distinguished from the people in their destruction, who had been the chief cause of the wrath of God coming upon them:

and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus;
all the riches that were taken from them were sent to the king of Syria at Damascus; this looks as if Hazael was not with this army.

2 Crônicas 24:23 In-Context

21 Mas conspiraram contra ele e por ordem do rei, o apedrejaram no átrio da casa do Senhor.
22 Assim o rei Joás não se lembrou da bondade que lhe fizera Jeoiada pai de Zacarias, antes matou-lhe o filho, o qual morrendo disse: Veja-o o Senhor, e o retribua.
23 Decorrido um ano, o exército da Síria subiu contra Joás; e vieram a Judá e a Jerusalém, e destruíram dentre o povo todos os seus príncipes, e enviaram todo o seu despojo ao rei de Damasco.
24 O exército dos sírios viera com poucos homens, contudo o Senhor entregou nas suas mãos um exército mui grande, porquanto abandonaram o Senhor, Deus de seus pais. Assim executaram juízo contra Joás.
25 Quando os sírios se retiraram dele, deixaram-no gravemente ferido; então seus servos conspiraram contra ele por causa do sangue dos filhos do sacerdote Jeoiada, e o mataram na sua cama, e assim morreu; e o sepultaram na cidade de Davi, porém não nos sepulcros dos reis.
