Barnes' Notes
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" Isaiah 7:4-5, Isaiah 7:9; Isaiah 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" (I Kings 16:18 note).
