Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - The Edomites. So the work of Amaziah (2 Chronicles 25:11, 14; 2 Kings 14:7) in reducing Edom was again undone (see also 2 Kings 16:7, where "Edom" should be read for "Aram").
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) For again.--And moreover.Smitten Judah.--Smitten in Judah, i.e., inflicted a defeat upon her. After their reduction by Uzziah, the Edomites had probably remained subject to Judah, until Rezin of Syria expelled the Jews from Elath (2Kings 16:6), and restored it to them. After that event, the disasters of Ahaz seem to have encouraged them to make a raid upon his territory.
