Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:25

_ _ they left him in great diseases — The close of his life was embittered by a painful malady, which long confined him to bed.

_ _ his own servants conspired against him — These two conspirators (whose fathers were Jews, but their mothers aliens) were probably courtiers, who, having constant access to the bedchamber, could the more easily execute their design.

_ _ for the blood of the sons — read “the son” of Jehoiada. Public opinion seems to have ascribed the disasters of his life and reign to that foul crime. And as the king had long lost the esteem and respect of his subjects, neither horror nor sorrow was expressed for his miserable end!

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:15-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 24:25

Son — By which it seems, he slew not only Zechariah, but his brothers also. Perhaps they that slew him intended to take vengeance for that innocent blood. However that was it, which God intended, in permitting them to do it.
