The taking of gold and silver signifies the complete defeat and humiliation of Judah. In ancient times, the wealth of a nation was often stored in precious metals, and capturing these was a common practice to demonstrate dominance and to enrich the victor's kingdom.and all the articles found in the house of God The house of God refers to the temple in Jerusalem, which was the center of worship for the Israelites. The articles mentioned are likely the sacred vessels and utensils used in temple worship. The removal of these items would have been seen as a desecration and a significant spiritual loss for Judah, as these articles were consecrated for use in worshiping Yahweh.with Obed-edom Obed-edom is a name associated with the Levites who were responsible for the care of the Ark of the Covenant. This reference may indicate that the items taken were under the guardianship of the Levites, highlighting the sacrilege of the act. Obed-edom is also known from earlier biblical accounts as the man who housed the Ark temporarily, suggesting a connection to the sacred duties and the protection of holy objects.and in the treasuries of the royal palace The treasuries of the royal palace would have contained the wealth accumulated by the kings of Judah. By taking these treasures, Joash not only weakened the kingdom financially but also symbolically stripped the king of his power and resources. This act would have been a severe blow to the pride and stability of the Judean monarchy.as well as some hostages Taking hostages was a common practice in the ancient Near East to ensure compliance and prevent rebellion. These hostages were likely members of the royal family or nobility, whose captivity would guarantee Amaziah's submission to Joash. This tactic underscores the political strategy of the time, where personal and familial bonds were leveraged to maintain control over conquered territories.Then he returned to Samaria Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel. Joash's return to Samaria signifies the completion of his campaign and the consolidation of his victory. Samaria, as the political and religious center of Israel, would have been the place where Joash displayed his triumph and the spoils of war, reinforcing his authority and the superiority of Israel over Judah at that time.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/amaziah.htm">Amaziah</a> King of Judah who initially followed the Lord but later turned away, leading to his defeat by Joash, king of Israel. 2. <a href="/topical/j/joash.htm">Joash (Jehoash)</a> King of Israel who defeated Amaziah and plundered the temple and royal palace in Jerusalem. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The capital city of Judah, where the temple and royal palace were located. 4. <a href="/topical/o/obed-edom.htm">Obed-edom</a> A Levite associated with the temple, mentioned here as a reference to the location of the temple treasures. 5. <a href="/topical/s/samaria.htm">Samaria</a> The capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, where Joash returned after his victory.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_pride.htm">The Consequences of Pride</a> Amaziah's pride and subsequent idolatry led to his defeat and the plundering of Jerusalem.

The verb has fallen out here. The omission is ancient, as it appears in the LXX. The Vulg. gives the verb returned at the end of the verse a transitive form, and renders "he carried back to Samaria" all the things enumerated. The Syriac reads, "and he took the silver," &c.With Obed-edom.--Added by the chronicler, in harmony with what he has stated about the custody of the sacred treasures (<a href="/1_chronicles/26-15.htm" title="To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.">1Chronicles 26:15</a>, seq.); but probably derived from an ancient document. Obededom was the name of a Levitical clan.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/25.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 24. - No mention is made in the parallel of that custodian of treasures in the house of God, here called Obed-Edom, and who possibly was a descendant of the Obed-Edom of David's time (<a href="/2_samuel/6-10.htm">2 Samuel 6:10</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/13-13.htm">1 Chronicles 13:13</a>); or an Obed-Edom "a porter" (<a href="/1_chronicles/15-18.htm">1 Chronicles 15:18</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/16-38.htm">1 Chronicles 16:38</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/26-4.htm">1 Chronicles 26:4</a>, S). The present verse is an interesting one for pointing out the exact differences, even to the minutest of them, in what the two writers (of Kings and Chronicles) respectively took from a common original; e.g. the writer of Kings has "he took;" leaves out "Obed-Edom;" has not the preposition "in" before "the house;" has "Jehovah" instead of "God;" has the preposition "in" before "treasures;" and has "Samaria-ward" (i.e. to Samaria) instead of only "Samaria;" the writer of Chronicles differing in each of these respects. All the gold... in the house of God. See <a href="/2_kings/12-17.htm">2 Kings 12:17, 18</a>, from which we must conclude that Hazael had already had the pick both for quantity and for quality. The hostages also; the phrase runs in the Hebrew text, "and sons [or, 'the sons'] of the hostages" (הַתַּעֲרֻבות יְאֵת בְּנַי); the literal rendering of which is "children or sons of pledges," i.e. hostages. The word (and indeed the practice so prevalent elsewhere) is found only here and in the parallel. <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/25-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>He took all וְכָֽל־ (wə·ḵāl) Conjunctive waw | Noun -
