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 alguns conspiraram contra ele e, por ordem do rei, apedrejaram-no até a morte no pátio do templo do SENHOR.
22 O rei Joás não levou em conta que Joiada, pai de Zacarias, tinha sido bondoso com ele, e matou o seu filho. Este, ao morrer, exclamou: “Veja isto o SENHOR e faça justiça!”
23 Na virada do ano, o exército arameu marchou contra Joás; invadiu Judá e Jerusalém, matou todos os líderes do povo e enviou para Damasco, ao seu rei, tudo o que saqueou.
24 Embora o exército arameu fosse pequeno, o SENHOR entregou nas mãos dele um exército muito maior, por Judá ter abandonado o SENHOR, o Deus dos seus antepassados. Assim o juízo foi executado sobre Joás.
25 Quando os arameus foram embora, deixaram Joás seriamente ferido. Seus oficiais conspiraram contra ele, porque ele tinha assassinado o filho do sacerdote Joiada, e o mataram em sua cama. Assim ele morreu e foi sepultado na Cidade de Davi, mas não nos túmulos dos reis.
