Maaseiah the king’s son<\/B>thesons of Ahaz being too young to take part in a battle, thisindividual must have been a younger son of the late King Jotham; <\/P> Azrikam the governor of thehouse<\/B>that is, “the palace”; and <\/P> Elkanah that was next to theking<\/B>that is, the vizier or prime minister (Gen 41:40<\/span>;Est 10:3<\/span>). These were all cutdown on the field by Zichri, an Israelitish warrior, or as somethink, ordered to be put to death after the battle. A vast number ofcaptives also fell into the power of the conquerors; and an equaldivision of war prisoners being made between the allies, they weresent off under a military escort to the respective capitals of Syriaand Israel [2Ch 28:8<\/span>].<\/P><\/p>\n And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son<\/strong>,….

Caspari, loc. cit.<\/em> S. 45ff.); Azrikam, a prince of the house, probably not of the house of God (2Ch 31:13<\/span>; 2Ch 9:11<\/span>), but a high official in the royal palace; and Elkanah, the second from the king, i.e., his first minister; cf. Est 10:3<\/span>; 1Sa 23:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n (7) Maaseiah the kings son<\/strong>i.e., a prince of the royal house, related to Ahaz, but not his own son; or he would have been too young to be engaged in the battle. (Comp. 2Ch. 18:25<\/span> : Joash the kings son.)<\/p>\n Azrikam the governor of the house<\/strong>i.e., of the royal house, or palace. Azrikam was nagd,<\/em> prince or superintendent of the palace, a high court official. (Comp. 1Ki. 4:6<\/span>; 1Ki. 18:3<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Elkanah . . . next to the king.<\/strong>See margin. Elkanah was grand vizier. (Comp. 1Sa. 23:17<\/span>; Est. 10:3<\/span>.) The writer mentions the deaths of these three personages, because of their intimate connection with Ahaz, whose punishment he is describing. The blow which struck them struck the king. (Comp. 2Ch. 24:23<\/span>.)<\/p>\n 2Ch 28:7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah [that was] next to the king.<\/p>\n Ver. 7.
