The Hebrew word for "servants" is "עֲבָדִים" (avadim), which can also mean "slaves" or "officials." This indicates that those closest to Amon, who were expected to be loyal, turned against him. Historically, this reflects the instability and treachery that often plagued royal courts in ancient times. The servants' betrayal suggests a significant discontent with Amon's rule, possibly due to his continuation of idolatrous practices, as noted earlier in the chapter.<p><b>conspired against him</b><br />The Hebrew root for "conspired" is "קָשַׁר" (qashar), meaning to bind or tie together, often used in the context of forming a secret plan. This implies a deliberate and premeditated action against Amon, highlighting the severity of the discontent among his servants. In a broader biblical context, conspiracies against kings were not uncommon, reflecting the constant power struggles and the fragile nature of human authority compared to God's eternal sovereignty.<p><b>and killed the king</b><br />The act of killing the king, Amon, is a direct violation of the divine order, as kings were considered God's anointed. The Hebrew word for "killed" is "הָמִית" (hamit), which conveys the finality and violence of the act. This assassination underscores the moral and spiritual decay during Amon's reign, as he led Judah further into idolatry, abandoning the reforms of his father, Hezekiah. Theologically, this serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God.<p><b>in his palace</b><br />The palace, or "בֵּיתוֹ" (beito) in Hebrew, was not just a physical structure but a symbol of royal authority and security. The fact that Amon was killed in his palace signifies the complete breakdown of his power and the ultimate vulnerability of human institutions without God's protection. This setting emphasizes the irony that the place meant to be a sanctuary for the king became the site of his demise, illustrating the futility of relying on earthly power and security.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/33.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">His servants conspired.</span> So also Joash and Amaziah had been punished, the latter avenging the death of his father on those servants who had caused it (<a href="/2_kings/1-14.htm">2 Kings 1:14</a>:5;
