Though none of his acts as yet are recorded, but his sinful ones: and his might; or valiant actions in war with the Syrians, 2Ki 13:25, and wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah; of which there is an account in the following chapter: are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? in the history of the transactions of their reigns.

   “Wherewith he fought against Amaziah - This war with Amaziah may be seen in ample detail 2 Chron. 25; it ended in the total defeat of Amaziah, who was taken prisoner by Joash, and afterwards slain in a conspiracy at Lachish.

   ›Commentary on 2 Kings 14:8–152 voices

   “Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu king of Israel,....

   “Come, let us look one another in the face - This was a real declaration of war; and the ground of it is most evident from this circumstance: that the one hundred thousand men of Israel that had been dismissed, though they had the stipulated money, taking the advantage of Amaziah’s absence, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and smote three thousand men, and took much spoil, 2Ch 25:10-13. Amaziah no doubt remonstrated with Jehoash, but to no purpose; and therefore he declared war against him.
