Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: 2Ki 12:20 - And slew Joash

We are told, in the Chronicles, that his murdering the prophet, Jehoiada's son, was the provocation. In this, how unrighteous so ever they were, yet the Lord was righteous. And this was not the only time, that he let even kings know, it was at their peril, if they touched his anointed, or did his prophets any harm. Thus fell Joash, who began in the spirit, and ended in the flesh. And indeed God usually sets marks of his displeasure upon apostates, even in this life.

JFB: 2Ki 12:20 - his servants arose . . . and slew Joash in the house of Millo

(See on 2Ch 24:25).

Clarke: 2Ki 12:20 - The house of Millo

The house of Millo - Was a royal palace, built by David; (see 2Sa 5:9); and Silla is supposed to be the name of the road or causeway that led to it. Millo was situated between the old city of Jerusalem, and the city of David.

Poole: 2Ki 12:20 - Made a conspiracy // In the house of Millo // Which goeth down to Silla

Made a conspiracy of which see 2Ch 24:25 .

In the house of Millo either in that strong and famous place in Jerusalem called Millo ; of which see 2Sa 5:9 1Ki 9:15,24 11:27 ; into which he possibly retired for his security, being afraid even of his own subjects and servants; or in some other place called by the same name, for some resemblance it had with it.

Which goeth down to Silla i.e. which standeth upon the descent to Silla, or upon that descending causeway which leadeth from Millo to the king’ s house. Some refer this to Joash, and render the place thus, they slew him at or near the house of Millo , descending , or as he was going down to Silla , to escape their hands.

Haydock: 2Ki 12:20 - Sella

Sella. A flight of steps leading to the temple. (Haydock) ---

The palace was at the bottom of it, and had been built by Solomon. Here Joas was slain in his bed. (Paralipomenon)

Gill: 2Ki 12:20 - And his servants arose // and made a conspiracy // and slew Jehoash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla

And his servants arose,.... This was after he had slain Zechariah the son of Jehoiada, who reproved him for his idolatry; and after a second expedition of the king of Syria, who came to Jerusalem, and spoiled it, and left Jehoash diseased, as is recorded in 2Ch 24:23,

and made a conspiracy; not to get the kingdom into their hands, for his son succeeded him, but to avenge the death of Zechariah:

and slew Jehoash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla; these are both names of places; perhaps the latter is mentioned, to distinguish this Bethmillo from Millo in Zion; or rather that itself is meant, and described by the descent from it to a causeway, as Silla may signify, which led to the royal palace.
