FOOTNOTES:

F1 calls him a "chiliarch", one that had the command of a thousand men:

conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the
king's house;
Josephus F2 says it was at a banquet:

with Argob, and Arieh;
whom, according to Abarbinel, Pekah slew with the king, being mighty men, who were always about him; but they seem rather to be conspirators with Pekah, and assisting to him in smiting the king; the former of these, Ben Gersom thinks, was governor of Argob, a country on the other side Jordan, and the latter had his name from his fortitude, which signifies a lion:

and with him fifty men of the Gileadites;
which may seem to strengthen the above notion concerning Argob, since the Gileadites were of the same side of Jordan, and were near Argob, see ( Deuteronomy 3:13 )

and he killed him, and reigned in his room,
as his father killed Shallum, and reigned in his stead.


F1 Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 1.)
