Contextual Overview
1 Amatzyahu was twenty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Y'ho‘adan, from Yerushalayim. 2 He did what was right from Adonai 's perspective, but not wholeheartedly. 3 As soon as he had the kingdom firmly in his control, he put to death the servants of his who had assassinated the king his father. 4 But he did not put their children to death; rather, he acted according to what is written in the Torah, in the scroll of Moshe, as Adonai ordered when he said, "Fathers are not to die for the children, nor are the children to die for the fathers; every person will die for his own sin." 5 Amatzyahu assembled Y'hudah together and put them in order by clans under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds — all Y'hudah and Binyamin. He registered everyone twenty years old and older, and found that there were 300,000 select troops able to go to war, capable of using spears and shields. 6 He also hired 100,000 strong, brave men from Isra'el for three-and-a-third tons of silver. 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "King, don't let the army of Isra'el go with you; because Adonai is not with Isra'el or with any of the people of Efrayim. 8 And if you do go, then no matter how fiercely you fight, God will cause you to fail before the enemy. For God has the power to help and to cause failure." 9 Amatzyahu said to the man of God, "But what do we do about the three-and-a-third tons [of silver] I paid for Isra'el's army?" The man of God answered, " Adonai can give you far more than that!" 10 Then Amatzyahu separated out the battalion that had come to him from Efrayim and told them to go back home — which made their anger burn hotly against Y'hudah, and they returned home enraged.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
an hundred talents of silver: Estimating the shekel at 2s. 6d., and the talent, being 3,000 shekels - see Exodus 38:25, Exodus 38:26, at 375, one hundred talents would amount to 37,500.; which, divided among 100,000 men, quotes only 7s. 6d.; hence we may suppose, that this was only an earnest of their pay, or that they expected to be enriched by the plunder of the Edomites.
