2 Chronicles 28:7

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

Maaseiah the king's son. Jerome ('Quaest. Hebraicae'), on this passage, renders the words "the king's son," 'the seed of Molech,' or the seed royal. 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 - i:e., the palace.

And Elkanah that was next to the king ie the vizier or prime minister (Genesis 41:40; Esther 10:3) These And Elkanah that was next to the king - i:e., the vizier or prime minister (Genesis 41:40; Esther 10:3). These were all cut down on the field by Zichri, an Israelite 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.
