Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord,.... In 2 Chronicles 25:24 it is added, "with Obededom", who, and his family, had the care of them by lot, see 1 Chronicles 26:15
and in the treasures of the king's house; which were also spoiled and plundered:
and hostages; either such as the king of Judah had taken from Edom, as pledges of their fidelity, that they might not rebel; or which the king of Israel took of Judah, even sons of the princes, as the Targum, for security, that they would give him no more trouble:
and returned to Samaria; without attempting to bring the kingdom of Judah into subjection to him, which he might suppose he could not hold, and having enough to do with the Syrians, his avowed enemies.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This is the only distinct mention of “hostages” in the Old Testament. It would seem that the Oriental conquerors generally regarded the terror of their arms as sufficient to secure the performance of the engagements contracted toward them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 14:14. And he took - hostages — התערבות hattaaruboth, pledges; from ערב arab, to pledge, give security, c., for the performance of some promise. See the meaning of this word interpreted in Clarke's note on "Genesis 38:17". It is likely that Amaziah gave some of the nobles or some of his own family as hostages, that he might regain his liberty and they were to get their liberty when he had fulfilled his engagements; but of what kind these were we cannot tell, nor, indeed, how he got his liberty.
