This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Maaseiah the king’s son - the sons of Ahaz being too young to take part in a battle, this individual must have been a younger son of the late King Jotham;
Azrikam the governor of the house - that is, “the palace”; and
Elkanah that was next to the king - that is, the vizier or prime minister (Gen 41:40; Est 10:3). These were all cut down on the field by Zichri, an Israelitish warrior, or as some think, ordered to be put to death after the battle. A vast number of captives also fell into the power of the conquerors; and an equal division of war prisoners being made between the allies, they were sent off under a military escort to the respective capitals of Syria and Israel [2Ch 28:8].
