Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead." — 2 Chronicles 24:27 (ASV)

The greatness of the burdens laid upon him—Or, “And the multitude of burdens uttered against him.” “Burdens” (see the note on 2 Kings 9:25) are prophetic denunciations of coming evil.

The repairing—See the marginal note. Joash’s repairs extended to the very foundation of the temple building.

The story of the book of the kings—See the introduction to Chronicles, the second note.
