2 Chronicles28:7
2Ch 28:7
In this battle, Zichri, an Ephraimite hero, slew three men who were closely connected with the king: Maaseiah, the king’s son, i.e., not a son of Ahaz, for in the first years of his reign, in which this war arose, he cannot have had an adult son capable of bearing arms, but a royal prince, a cousin or uncle of Ahaz, as in 2Ch 18:25; 2Ch 22:11, etc. (cf. Caspari, loc. cit. S. 45ff.); Azrikam, a prince of the house, probably not of the house of God (2Ch 31:13; 2Ch 9:11), but a high official in the royal palace; and Elkanah, the second from the king, i.e., his first minister; cf. Est 10:3; 1Sa 23:17.
