Teaching Points The Importance of ObedienceAmaziah's account reminds us that initial obedience to God is crucial, but it must be sustained throughout our lives. Partial obedience or turning away can lead to negative consequences. The Dangers of Pride Amaziah's downfall was largely due to his pride. As believers, we must guard our hearts against pride, recognizing that it can lead us away from God's will.

What Does 2 Chronicles 25:26 Mean As for the rest of the acts of AmaziahAmaziah’s reign (2 Chronicles 25:1–4, 5–16) shows a man who began in obedience—executing justice without killing the children of his father’s assassins in accord with Deuteronomy 24:16—yet drifted into compromise by importing Edomite idols. His military campaign against Edom (2 Kings 14:7) and arrogant challenge to Israel’s King Jehoash (2 Chronicles 25:17) reveal how success can breed pride. The outcome was defeat, the breach of Jerusalem’s wall, and plundering of the Temple (2 Kings 14:13–14). God’s inspired historian pauses here to say, in effect, “There’s more to the story than we have space to tell.” from beginning to end The Spirit-directed chronicler underscores that Amaziah’s life is fully known to God and thoroughly recorded, echoing similar statements about Solomon (1 Kings 11:41), Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 12:15), and Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26:22). The phrase reminds us that God observes and evaluates every chapter of a leader’s life, not merely the highlights. Revelation 22:13 affirms that the Lord Himself is “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End,” so He alone can assess a person’s entire story. are they not written This rhetorical question, common throughout Kings and Chronicles (e.g., 1 Kings 15:7; 2 Kings 10:34), asserts the certainty and accessibility of the historical record. It also invites readers to verify the chronicler’s summary, reinforcing Scripture’s trustworthiness. Luke 1:1–4 follows the same pattern—pointing to existing eyewitness accounts so believers may “know the certainty” of what they have been taught. in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel? The “Book of the Kings” was a royal archive, now lost, from which the Holy Spirit selected precisely what the Church needs today (John 21:25). Similar source citations appear for Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 32:32) and Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:27). That the chronicler recognizes both “Judah and Israel” highlights God’s ongoing interest in the whole covenant people, even though the kingdom had split (compare Hosea 1:11). The statement also signals continuity: God’s unfolding story runs through every generation, reaching its climax in the King of Kings (Matthew 1:1, 17). summary 2 Chronicles 25:26 serves as a Holy Spirit-inspired footnote: Amaziah’s tale is bigger than the present chapter, fully documented and fully known to God. It reassures us that Scripture rests on reliable historical foundations, reminds us that every deed—from start to finish—is weighed by the Lord, and points forward to the grand narrative of God’s kingdom that transcends any one monarch’s successes or failures. (26) First and last.--The former and the latter. The chronicler adds his usual formula.Behold, are they not written.--The Hebrew is faulty here. "Behold, they are written" is the customary phrase in the Chronicles (2Chronicles 20:34; 2Chronicles 24:27); "are they not written" being that of Kings. In the Hebrew text here the two phrases are blended. Some- MSS., and the Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic read, "Behold, they are written." But it is possible that hinn?m ("behold they") is here a corruption of h?m ("they"); and that the reading of Kings should be followed, with other Hebrew MSS. and the Targum. Verse 26. - The book of the kings of Judah and Israel. The parallel has "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah." Considering the amount and the character of the resemblance that we have noticed between the narratives in Kings and in our own text, and assuming that the work to which each compiler calls attention for the fuller elucidation of his subject of biography is the work which he has himself most largely laid under 'contribution, then we should justly feel in this instance that we had no feeble argument for the identity of the two works, called by rather different titles - by the writer of the pre-Captivity, "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah," and by him of the post-Captivity, "the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."Parallel Commentaries ...
