22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
22 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home.
22 And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his home.
22 Judah was thoroughly beaten by Israel - all the soldiers straggled home in defeat.
22 And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.
22 Judah was routed by the army of Israel, and its army scattered and fled for home.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:22
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:17-28
(Read 2 Chronicles 25:17-28)
Never was a proud prince more thoroughly mortified than Amaziah by Joash king of Israel. A man's pride will bring him low, Proverbs 25:8. And what are we when we offer to establish our own righteousness, or presume to justify ourselves before the Most High God, but despicable thistles, that fancy themselves stately cedars? And are not various temptations, is not every corruption, a wild beast of the desert, which will trample on the wretched boaster, and tread his haughty pretensions to the dust? A man's pride shall bring him low; his ruin may be dated from his turning from the Lord.
