Strabo places it three or four days' journey from Jericho, and five days' journey from the forest of palm trees on the Red Sea. Pliny places it 600 miles from Gaza, and 125 from the Persian Gulf; but Cellarius and Reland very justly consider that the numbers have been changed, and that we ought to read 125 miles from Gaza, and 600 from the Persian Gulf. Eusebius places Beerothbenejaakan 30 miles west from Petra, and Elath ten miles east; and Burckhardt discovered the ruins of this ancient city in a valley called Wady Mousa.JoktheelJoshua 15:38ReciprocalGenesis 27:40 - serve; Isaiah 16:1 - from; Obadiah 1:3 - thou Verse 8 amAmaziah2 Chronicles 25:17-24 Come2 Kings 14:11; 2 Samuel 2:14-17; Proverbs 13:10, 17:14, 18:6, 20:18, 25:8ReciprocalJudges 9:29 - Increase thine army; 9:38 - General; 11:12 - What hast; 1 Samuel 14:12 - Come up to us; 1 Kings 20:18 - General; 2 Kings 13:9 - Joash; 13:12 - his might; 23:29 - he had seen him; Proverbs 26:4 - General Verse 9The thistleJudges 9:8-15; 2 Samuel 12:1-4; 1 Kings 4:33; Ezekiel 20:49
The word choach, which is rendered here, and in 2 Chronicles 25:18; Job 31:18, thistle, in 1 Samuel 13:6, thicket in Isaiah 34:13, bramble, and in 2 Chronicles 33:11; Proverbs 26:9; Song of Songs 2:2; Hosea 9:6 thorn, is probably the black thorn, or sloe tree, the prunus spinosa of Linneus, as the same word signifies in Arabic. There is a vast deal of insolent dignity in this remonstrance of Jehoash; but it has nothing conciliatory; no proposal of making amends for the injury his army had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah - 2 Chronicles 25:10-13. The comparatively useless thorn, which may by chance lacerate the incautious passenger, is made the emblem of the house of Judah and David, while the house of Jehu is represented by the stately cedar.ReciprocalJudges 8:6 - General; 9:14 - bramble; 9:15 - the cedars; 14:2 - get her; Job 31:40 - thistles; Proverbs 20:3 - but; 1 Corinthians 12:15 - General; Galatians 6:14 - that I Verse 10thine heartDeuteronomy 8:14; 2 Chronicles 26:16, 32:25; Proverbs 16:18; Ezekiel 38:2, 38:5, 38:17; Daniel 5:20-23; Habakkuk 2:4; James 4:6 glory of thisExodus 8:9; Jeremiah 9:23, 9:24; James 1:9 homeHeb. thy housewhy shouldest2 Chronicles 35:21; Proverbs 3:30, 15:18, 17:14, 20:3, 25:8, 26:17; Luke 14:31, 14:32ReciprocalGenesis 27:40 - serve; Deuteronomy 17:20 - his heart; Judges 9:52 - General; 2 Samuel 2:22 - wherefore; Proverbs 13:10 - Only; Ecclesiastes 8:9 - there is; Daniel 5:23 - lifted; 11:12 - his heart; Habakkuk 2:5 - keepeth; 1 Timothy 3:6 - lest Verse 11Amaziah2 Chronicles 25:16, 25:20 BethshemeshJoshua 19:38, 21:16; 1 Samuel 6:9-19ReciprocalJoshua 19:22 - Bethshemesh; Judges 11:28 - General; 2 Kings 14:8 - Come; 23:29 - he had seen him Verse 12was put to the worseHeb. was smittenthey fled1 Samuel 4:10; 2 Samuel 18:17; 1 Kings 22:36Reciprocal2 Samuel 19:8 - for Israel; Amos 6:13 - Have Verse 13took Amaziah2 Kings 25:6; 2 Chronicles 33:11, 36:6, 36:10; Job 40:11, 40:12; Proverbs 16:18, 29:23; Isaiah 2:11, 2:12; Daniel 4:37; Luke 14:11 the gate of Ephraim2 Chronicles 25:23, 25:24; Nehemiah 8:16, 12:39 the cornerJeremiah 31:38; Zechariah 14:10Reciprocal2 Chronicles 26:9 - the corner gate Verse 14all the gold2 Kings 24:13, 25:15; 1 Kings 7:51, 14:26, 15:18 and hostages2 Kings 18:23 *marg.Reciprocal2 Chronicles 25:24 - all the gold; Isaiah 36:8 - pledges Verse 15 amthe rest2 Kings 10:34, 10:35, 13:12; 1 Kings 14:19, 14:20Reciprocal2 Kings 14:1 - Joash; 14:28 - the rest; 2 Chronicles 25:26 - rest of the acts Verse 16 amJehoash2 Samuel 7:12; 1 Kings 1:21 was buried2 Kings 13:9 Jeroboam13:13; Hosea 1:1; Amos 1:1, 7:10, 7:11Reciprocal2 Kings 15:1 - In the; 15:8 - the thirty; 1 Chronicles 5:17 - Jeroboam Verse 17 amAmaziah2 Kings 14:1, 14:2, 14:23, 13:10; 2 Chronicles 25:25-28Reciprocal2 Kings 15:1 - In the; 15:8 - the thirty Verse 182 Kings 13:8, 13:12; 1 Kings 11:41, 14:29Reciprocal2 Kings 15:6 - they not written Verse 19 amthey made2 Kings 12:20, 12:21, 15:10, 15:14, 15:25, 15:30, 21:23; 2 Chronicles 25:27, 25:28 fled to LachishJoshua 10:31; Micah 1:13Reciprocal2 Kings 9:28 - General; 2 Chronicles 24:25 - his own servants Verse 20he was buried2 Kings 8:24, 9:28, 12:21; 1 Kings 2:10, 11:43; 2 Chronicles 21:20, 26:23, 33:20Reciprocal24:25 - his own servants; 25:28 - the city of Judah Verse 21Azariah2 Kings 15:13; 2 Chronicles 26:1, Uzziah, Matthew 1:8, 1:9, Oziasmade him king2 Kings 21:24; 1 Chronicles 3:12Reciprocal2 Kings 15:8 - the thirty; 15:32 - Jotham; 23:30 - the people; Amos 1:1 - in the Verse 22ElathElath, the Ala or Elana of the Greek and Roman writers, was a celebrated port situated at the extremity of the eastern branch of the Red Sea, hence called the Elanitic Gulf, ten miles east from Petra, according to Eusebius, and 150; Roman miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260 stadia, or 157 miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota.

Our oldest Hebrew manuscript relieves us here, by reading truly, in 2 Kings 15:1, 15:6, 15:7, Uzziah, where the printed text is differently corrupted. This reading is called true:

1. Because it is supported by the Syriac and Arabic versions in these three verses.

2. Because the printed text itself has it so in 15:32 and 15:34 of this very chapter.

3. Because it is so expressed in the parallel place in Chronicles.

4.

His death was a judgment, especially considering the character of Ahaz, his son and successor: for we read - 2 Kings 16:3 Ahaz made his son pass through the fire. This son may have been Hezekiah, who served the Lord, and whose prayer in sickness was most graciously herd and answered.
