2 Chronicles 24:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:27

Now concerning his sons
The sons of Joash; how many they were, and what their names:

and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him;
which some understand of the hard and heavy prophecies of the Lord against him; and others of the heavy taxes and tribute imposed on him by the king of Syria; and others of the collection for the repairs of the temple, ( 2 Chronicles 24:6 ) , where the word used signifies a burden; and it follows,

and the repairing of the house of the Lord;
the whole history of that:

behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings;
not in the canonical book so called, but in the history, commentaries, or annals of the kings of Judah now lost:

and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead;
see ( 2 Kings 12:21 ) .

2 Chronicles 24:27 In-Context

25 When they had departed from him, leaving him severely wounded, his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabite.
