Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Though in our version two Azariahs appear among the six sons of Jehoshaphat here given, the Hebrew text shows עֲזַרְיָה in the one place and עֲזַרְיָהוּ in the other. Nothing is known of the previous history of these six, now so cruelly murdered by their eldest brother. It will be observed that Jehoshaphat is styled King of Israel, probably merely generically. Into this way the writer of Chronicles would run, at any rate, more easily than the writer of Kings.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersREIGN OF JEHORAM (2Chronicles 21:2-18).THE NEW KING MURDERS HIS SIX BROTHERS(2Chronicles 21:2-4).(2) Azariah . . . and Azariah.--Heb. 'Azary?h . . . and Azaryah-, different forms of the same name. All the versions give one form only. An old error of transcription may be involved (comp. 1Chronicles 3:6; 1Chronicles 3:8); but it is also possible that Jehoshaphat named two of his sons Azariah, "Iah helpeth," in pious recognition of two several mercies. Shephatiah, "Iah judgeth," repeats his own name in inverted shape. . . .
