2 Kings 15:3
15:3 And he did [that which was] {a} right in the sight of the
     LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

     (a) As long as he listened to Zachariah the prophet.

2 Kings 15:5
15:5 And the LORD {b} smote the king, so that he was a leper
     unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house.
     And Jotham the king's son [was] over the house, {c} judging
     the people of the land.

     (b) His father and grandfather were slain by their subjects
         and servants, and he because he would usurp the priest's
         office contrary to God's ordinance was smitten
         immediately by the hand of God with the leprosy,
         2 Chronicles 26:21.
     (c) As viceroy or deputy to his father.

2 Kings 15:8
15:8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did
     Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria
     six {d} months.

     (d) He was the fourth in descent from Jehu, who reigned
         according to God's promise, but in him God began to
         execute his wrath against the house of Jehu.

2 Kings 15:10
15:10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and
      smote him before the people, and {e} slew him, and reigned
      in his stead.

      (e) Zachariah was the last in Israel, that had the kingdom
          by succession, save only Pekahiah the son of Menahem,
          who reigned only two years.

2 Kings 15:16
15:16 Then Menahem smote {f} Tiphsah, and all that [were]
      therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they
      opened not [to him], therefore he smote [it; and] all the
      women therein that were with child he ripped up.

      (f) Which was a city of Israel that would not receive him
          as their king.

2 Kings 15:19
15:19 [And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the {g} land:
      and Menahem gave Pul a thousand {h} talents of silver,
      that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in
      his hand.

      (g) That is, of Israel.
      (h) Instead of seeking help from God, he went about by
          money to purchase the favour of this king being an
          infidel and therefore God forsook him, and Pul soon
          afterward broke his promises, destroyed his country
          and led his people away captive.

2 Kings 15:25
15:25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired
      against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of
      the king's house, with {i} Argob and Arieh, and with him
      fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and
      reigned in his room.

      (i) Which were of the same conspiracy.

2 Kings 15:29
15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel {k} came
      Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and
      Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and
      Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried
      them captive to Assyria.

      (k) For God stirred up Pul and Tiglathpileser against
          Israel for their sins, 1 Chronicles 5:26.

2 Kings 15:34
15:34 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
      LORD: he did according {l} to all that his father Uzziah
      had done.

      (l) He shows that his uprightness was not such, but that
          he had many great faults.

2 Kings 15:37
15:37 In {m} those days the LORD began to send against Judah
      Rezin the king of Syria, and {n} Pekah the son of
      Remaliah.

      (m) After the death of Jotham.
      (n) Who in one day slew 120,000 of Judah's fighting men
          2 Chronicles 28:6, because they had forsaken the true
          God.
