On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

(2.) The royal family shall sink first, as an earnest of the ruin of the whole kingdom: I will rise against the house of Jeroboam, Jeroboam the second, who was now king of the ten tribes; his family was extirpated in his son Zecharias, who was slain with the sword before the people, by Shallum who conspired against him, 2 Kings xv.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

); for, when the contest is between God and man, it is easy to foresee, it is very easy to foretel, who will come off with the worst of it. 1 Thus hath the Lord G OD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Sometimes the sins of our relations are to be looked upon as judgments of God upon us. His children, though they keep honest, yet shall not keep alive: His sons and his daughters shall fall by the sword of war, and he himself shall live to see it.
