Adam Clarke’s Commentary
Verse 17. Hazael-fought against Gath, and took it] This city, with its satrapy or lordship, had been taken from the Philistines by David, (see 2Sa 8:1, and 1Ch 18:1;) and it had continued in the possession of the kings of Judah till this time. On what pretence Hazael seized it, we cannot tell; he had the ultima ratio regum, power to do it, and he wanted more territory.
