2Ki 15:1-7.
AZARIAH'S REIGN OVER JUDAH.
1-7. In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam--It is thought that the throne of Judah continued vacant eleven or twelve years, between the death of Amaziah and the inauguration of his son Azariah. Being a child only four years old when his father was murdered, a regency was appointed during Azariah's minority.
began Azariah . . . to reign--The character of his reign is described by the brief formula employed by the inspired historian, in recording the religious policy of the later kings. But his reign was a very active as well as eventful one, and is fully related
(2Ch 26:1-23).
Elated by the possession of great power, and presumptuously arrogating to himself, as did the heathen kings, the functions both of the real and sacerdotal offices, he was punished with leprosy, which, as the offense was capital
(Nu 8:7),
was equivalent to death, for this disease excluded him from all society. While Jotham, his son, as his viceroy, administered the affairs of the kingdom--being about fifteen years of age (compare
2Ki 15:33)
--he had to dwell in a place apart by himself (see on
2Ki 7:3).
After a long reign he died, and was buried in the royal burying-field, though not in the royal cemetery of "the city of David"
(2Ch 26:23).

撒迦利雅在以色列作王
8-10. 猶大王亞撒利雅三十八年，耶羅波安的兒子撒迦利雅在撒瑪利亞作以色列王——耶羅波安與他兒子登基之間，因某種不明原因出現了一段空位期；據某些人說歷時十或十二年，據另一些人說則為二十二年或更久。這位王子沿用牛犢崇拜的宗教政策，他的在位短暫，被暴力之手戛然終止。在他身上應驗了對耶戶所說的預言
(王下 10:30；
又
何 1:4)，
即他的家族將坐以色列國位四代；相應地，約哈斯、約阿施、約蘭與撒迦利雅相繼作他的繼承人——但他的王朝到此為止；或許正是這預言既已公開為人所知，沙龍才起意行兇。

ZECHARIAH'S REIGN OVER ISRAEL.
8-10. In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel--There was an interregnum from some unknown cause between the reign of Jeroboam and the accession of his son, which lasted, according to some, for ten or twelve years, according to others, for twenty-two years, or more. This prince pursued the religious policy of the calf-worship, and his reign was short, being abruptly terminated by the hand of violence. In his fate was fulfilled the prophecy addressed to Jehu
(2Ki 10:30;
also
Ho 1:4),
that his family would possess the throne of Israel for four generations; and accordingly Jehoahaz, Joash, Jehoram, and Zechariah were his successors--but there his dynasty terminated; and perhaps it was the public knowledge of this prediction that prompted the murderous design of Shallum.

13-17. 沙龍……作王一個月——他受到米拿現的對抗與殺害；據 JOSEPHUS 記載，米拿現是軍隊的統帥，那軍隊聽到王被弒的消息時，正在圍攻得撒——撒瑪利亞以東十二哩的一座城，從前是以色列諸王的駐地。米拿現解圍之後，直接揮兵攻打篡位者，將他殺死，自立為王。

13-17. Shallum . . . reigned a full month--He was opposed and slain by Menahem, who, according to JOSEPHUS, was commander of the forces, which, on the report of the king's murder, were besieging Tirzah, a town twelve miles east of Samaria, and formerly a seat of the kings of Israel. Raising the siege, he marched directly against the usurper, slew him, and reigned in his stead.

19. 亞述王普勒——這是聖經歷史中自寧錄以來第一個被提及的亞述王。他的名字最近已被證實為尼尼微碑文上的法盧卡；米拿現的名字也在碑文中被發現。
來攻擊這地——別處又說「以法蓮〔以色列〕就往亞述去」
[何 5:13]。
兩處記載可這樣調和：「普勒主動——或許因米拿現出兵攻打提普薩克而受引發——進軍以色列國；於是米拿現送他一千他連得銀子，不僅為要使他放棄征服計畫，同時也為要購買他的友誼與援助，以確立自己不穩的王權。所以米拿現嚴格說來並非邀請亞述人入境，只不過是藉這貢銀，把正在進軍攻打的敵人轉變為同盟，以保衛他篡奪來的統治。先知何西阿不像史家那樣關注歷史事實，而更關注其中所暴露的性情，便很可以責備這是以法蓮走向亞述人
(何 5:13；7:1；8:9)， 是與亞述立約」
(王下 12:1)
[KEIL]。
一千他連得銀子——合 262,200 英鎊。這筆貢銀是米拿現向以色列的達官貴人徵稅籌措的，賄賂了普勒，使他退回本國（參見
代上 5:26)。

19. Pul the king of Assyria--This is the first Assyrian king after Nimrod who is mentioned in biblical history. His name has been recently identified with that of Phalluka on the monuments of Nineveh, and that of Menahem discovered also.
came against the land--Elsewhere it is said "Ephraim [Israel] went to the Assyrian"
[Ho 5:13].
The two statements may be reconciled thus: "Pul, of his own motion, induced, perhaps, by the expedition of Menahem against Thapsacus, advanced against the kingdom of Israel; then Menahem sent him a thousand talents in order not only to divert him from his plans of conquest, but at the same time to purchase his friendship and aid for the establishment of his own precarious sovereignty. So Menahem did not properly invite the Assyrian into the land, but only changed the enemy when marching against the country, by this tribute, into a confederate for the security of his usurped dominion. This the prophet Hosea, less concerned about the historical fact than the disposition betrayed therein, might very well censure as a going of Ephraim to the Assyrians
(Ho 5:13; 7:1; 8:9),
and a covenant-making with Asshur"
(2Ki 12:1)
[KEIL].
a thousand talents of silver--Equal to £262,200. This tribute, which Menahem raised by a tax on the grandees of Israel, bribed Pul to return to his own country (see on
1Ch 5:26).

亞撒利雅 在猶大 作王
1-7. 耶羅波安第二十七年——據推測,在亞瑪謝駕崩與其子亞撒利雅登基之間,猶大寶座空懸了十一、十二年之久。亞撒利雅在其父被弒時,只是一個年僅四歲的孩童,故在他未成年期間設立了攝政。
亞撒利雅……登基作王——其治國的情形,由受感的歷史學家在記述後期列王的宗教政策時所慣用的簡短公式來描述。但他的統治既積極活躍,又充滿重大事件,詳見
(2Ch 26:1-23)。
他因大權在握而心高氣傲,妄自尊大,像外邦君王一樣僭取了君王與祭司的雙重職分,遂受罰染上大痲瘋;因這罪當處死
(Nu 8:7),
故大痲瘋便等同於死刑,因為這病使他無法與任何人來往。他的兒子約坦——約十五歲(參
2Ki 15:33)—— 作為他的副手治理國政時,他只能獨自住在隔離之所(參
2Ki 7:3)。
他在位日久,駕崩後葬於王家的墳地,卻不在「大衛城」的王家陵墓中
(2Ch 26:23)。
