Summary

This verse recounts how King Jehoash of Israel captured Jerusalem and broke down a section of the wall, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, a distance of about 600 feet. This event fulfilled the prophecy of Amos, who had foretold that King Jeroboam II would die by the sword and Israel would be taken into exile. The capture of Jerusalem symbolized the decline and vulnerability of Judah, highlighting the consequences of turning away from God and His protection.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem,.... Against Amaziah; the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the principal men of it; perhaps those whose sons the king of Israel had carried away as hostages, which they imputed to the ill conduct of Amaziah, as well as the breaking of the wall of Jerusalem, and the pillaging of the temple, and the king's palace: and he fled to Lachish; a fortified city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:39 but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there; in a private manner, as Josephus (g) relates. (g) Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 9. c. 9. sect. 3.)
