How preachers through history handled this text

5 public-domain excerpts on 2 Chronicles 25, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 4 John Wesley 1

“Never was a proud prince more thoroughly mortified than Amaziah by Joash king of Israel. A man's pride will bring him low, Pr 29:23; it goes before his destruction, and deservedly brings it on. He that exalteth himself shall be abased. He that goes forth hastily to strive, will not know what he shall do in the end thereof, when his neighbour has put him to shame, Pr 25:8. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Chronicles 25:17–30 (Public Domain)
