Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son,.... Who therefore must have escaped being burnt in the valley of Hinnom, or only was caused to pass through the fire there, 2Ch 28:3, and Azrikam the governor of the house; steward or treasurer in the king's house, in the same office as Sheban was, Isa 22:15. and Elkanah that was next to the king: prime minister of state.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Maaseiah was either an officer called “the king’s son” (compare 1Ki 22:26), or perhaps a son of Jotham, since Ahaz could hardly have had a son old enough to take part in the battle (compare 2Ch 28:1). Elkanah, as “second to the king,” was probably the chief of the royal counselors.
