2 Chronicles 25:1
英文原文
This chapter is evidently taken to a large extent from the same document as Kings (see the marginal reference and the notes). At the same time it contains large and important additions; e. g. 2 Chronicles 25:5-10, 2 Chronicles 25:13-16.

2 Chronicles 25:5
三十万——亚撒的军队几乎是这个数目的两倍，达五十八万（2 Chronicles 14:8）。兵力减少，部分是由于战争（2 Chronicles 21:8, 2 Chronicles 21:16; 2 Chronicles 24:23-24），部分是由于王国的普遍衰落。
英文原文
Three hundred thousand - Asa's army had been nearly twice as numerous, amounting to 580, 000 2 Chronicles 14:8. The diminution was due, in part, to wars 2 Chronicles 21:8, 2 Chronicles 21:16; 2 Chronicles 24:23-24; in part, to the general decadence of the kingdom.

2 Chronicles 25:8
如果视现有的经文为完好无损，本节就必须当作反话来理解。但近代大多数注释家补上第二个否定词，把它译作：“但你只管独自去行，奋勇作战吧——那样神必不使你跌倒。”
英文原文
If the present text is regarded as sound, this passage must be taken ironically. But most recent commentators supply a second negative, and render it: "But go thou alone, act, be strong for the battle - God shall then not make thee to fall."
10
2 Chronicles 25:10
这样打发他们回去，必然激起极大的愤慨。以色列人会以为，自己之所以被打发走，是因为他们的诚意受了怀疑。至于他们愤慨所产生的后果，见 2 Chronicles 25:13。
英文原文
Such a dismissal could not fail to arouse great indignation. The Israelites would suppose themselves dismissed because their good faith was suspected. On the consequences of their indignation, see 2 Chronicles 25:13.
11
2 Chronicles 25:11
西珥的子孙——即以东人（见旁注参考“h”）。
英文原文
The children of Seir - i. e. the Edomites (see the marginal reference "h").
12
2 Chronicles 25:12
磐石顶——毋宁译作“西拉（即彼特拉）的高处”；战斗大概是在那附近进行的。关于以东战争的残酷情形，见 1 Kings 11:15; Ezekiel 25:12; Obadiah 1:14。
英文原文
The top of the rock - Rather, "the height of Selah" (or, Petra), near which the battle was probably fought. On the cruel features of the Edomite wars, see 1 Kings 11:15; Ezekiel 25:12; Obadiah 1:14.
13
2 Chronicles 25:13
为了报复那次羞辱（2 Chronicles 25:10），约阿施的军队向南进军，劫掠了以色列边境与伯和仑之间所有属犹大的城邑和村庄。这次入侵大概发生在亚玛谢还在以东的时候。
英文原文
To revenge the insult 2 Chronicles 25:10, the troops of Joash proceeded southward and ravaged all the Jewish towns and villages between the Israelite frontier and Bethboron. This invasion probably took place while Amaziah was still in Edom.
14
2 Chronicles 25:14
从被征服的国家或城邑中掳走神像、作为胜利战利品的做法，在东方各民族中十分常见。有时——如罗马人的做法——其目的是敬拜，尤其是当这些神本来就属于征服国先前所奉之神，而这些神像又有特别神圣的名声时，更是如此。
英文原文
The practice of carrying off the images of the gods from a conquered country, or city, as trophies of victory, was common among the nations of the East. Sometimes as with the Romans, the object was worship, especially when the gods were previously among those of the conquering country, and the images had the reputation of special sanctity.
16
2 Chronicles 25:16
谁立你作王的谋士——这是一种含蓄的讽刺：“我岂立你作我的谋士之一？若没有，你凭什么向我进言？”
这预言应验的经过，见 2 Chronicles 25:22-24, 2 Chronicles 25:27。
英文原文
Art thou made of the king's counsel? - A subtle irony: "Have I made thee one of my council? If not what entitles thee to offer thy advice?"
For the fulfillment of the prophecy, see 2 Chronicles 25:22-24, 2 Chronicles 25:27.
27
2 Chronicles 25:27
自从……以后——作者的意思是，亚玛谢横死的发生，是随从他的背道而来，但这并非紧随其后——因为那至少是十五年之后的事（2 Chronicles 25:25）——就人看来，也不是背道直接造成的；然而，作为神的审判，他的死完全应验了 2 Chronicles 25:16 的预言。
英文原文
After the time ... - The writer means that the violent death of Amaziah followed on his apostasy, not closely in point of time - for it must have been at least 15 years after 2 Chronicles 25:25 - nor as, humanly speaking, caused by it; but, in the way of a divine judgment, his death was a complete fulfillment of the prophecy of 2 Chronicles 25:16.
本章显然在相当程度上取自与列王纪相同的文献（见边注参照及注释）。与此同时，它也包含大段重要的补充，例如 2 Chronicles 25:5-10、2 Chronicles 25:13-16。
