A captain of his - A mere "captain,"a person, therefore, of very moderate rank. The low birth of Pekah is probably glanced at in Isaiah’ s favorite designation of him as "Remaliah’ s son"Isa 7:4-5, Isa 7:9; Isa 8:6.

From the fact that Pekah employed Gileadites to carry out his designs, it has been conjectured that he himself belonged to the trans-Jordanic region.

In the palace of the king’ s house - Rather, "In the tower of the king’ s palace;"or possibly "in the harem of the king’ s palace"(1Ki 16:18 note).

Poole: 2Ki 15:25 - -- Argob and Arieh might be either Pekah’ s partners in this treason, or the king’ s courtiers or officers, who were now slain with him. Fift...

Argob and Arieh might be either Pekah’ s partners in this treason, or the king’ s courtiers or officers, who were now slain with him.

Fifty men of the Gileadites who assisted him in the execution of his treason.

Haydock: 2Ki 15:25 - -- Near. Hebrew, "may be along with Argob, &c." who were in the conspiracy. (Chaldean, Septaugint, &c.) (Calmet)

But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his,.... The word signifies a "third" man, the third to the king, as some think; Josephus a calls him a "chiliarch", one that had the command of a thousand men:

conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house; Josephus b says it was at a banquet:

with Argob, and Arieh; whom, according to Abarbinel, Pekah slew with the king, being mighty men, who were always about him; but they seem rather to be conspirators with Pekah, and assisting to him in smiting the king; the former of these, Ben Gersom thinks, was governor of Argob, a country on the other side Jordan, and the latter had his name from his fortitude, which signifies a lion:

and with him fifty men of the Gileadites; which may seem to strengthen the above notion concerning Argob, since the Gileadites were of the same side of Jordan, and were near Argob, see Deu 3:13.

and he killed him, and reigned in his room, as his father killed Shallum, and reigned in his stead.
