2 Chronicles 18:1-34

18:1

wealthy <06239> [A.M. 3107. B.C. 897. riches.]

alliance <02859> [joined affinity.]

He took Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab, to be wife to his son Joram, (2 Ki 8:18;) which fatal connection was highly displeasing to God, and Jehoshaphat was severely reproved for it by Jehu the seer, 2 Ch 19:1-3.


18:2

after ... years <08141 07093> [after certain years. Heb. at the end of years.]

1Ki 17:7 Ne 13:6 *margins [All]

18:9

sitting on ... respective <03427 0376> [sat either.]

dressed in <03847> [clothed.]

threshing floor <01637> [void place. or, floor.]

Threshing-floors, among the ancient Jews, as we have before remarked, were only, as they are to this day in the East, round level plats of ground in the open air. Hence a floor might well be near the gate of Samaria, which was built on a hill, and afford no improper place for the kings of Judah and Israel to give audience to the prophets.

prophets <05030> [all the prophets.]


18:10

iron horns <01270 07161> [horns of iron.]

Mr. Bruce, in describing the head-dress of the governors of Abyssinia, says, "A large broad fillet was bound upon their forehead, and tied behind their head: in the middle of this was a horn, or conical piece of silver, gilt, about four inches long, much in the shape of our common candle extinguishers. This is called {kirn,} {[keren,]} and is only worn in reviews, or parades after victory." Such, it may be supposed, were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made for himself, when he presumed, in the name of Jehovah, to flatter his prince with the promise of victory: "Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until they be consumed."

said ....... says <0559> [Thus.]

destroyed <03615> [they be consumed. Heb. thou consume them.]

18:24

see <07200> [Behold.]

inner room <02315> [into an inner chamber. or, from chamber to chamber. Heb. into a chamber in a chamber.]

"In one of the halls of the {seraglio} at Constantinople," says De La Motraye, "the eunuch made us pass by several little chambers, with doors shut, like the cells of monks or nuns, as far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened." This exactly corresponds with the idea of a "chamber within a chamber;" and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem, which we have seen was deemed inviolate. (See on 1 Sa 19:16.)


18:25

return <07725> [and carry him back.]

Lord <03068> [the Lord.]

God lured <05496 0430> [God moved them.]


18:32

18:33

shot <04900> [a certain man.]

random <08537> [at a venture. Heb. in his simplicity.]

plates <01694> [between the, etc. Heb. between the joints and between the breast plate.]

The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease. It was between the joints of this harness that Ahab received his mortal wound.

wounded <02470> [wounded. Heb. made sick.]


18:34

died <04191> [he died.]


2 Chronicles 21:1-20

21:1

Jehoshaphat <03092> [A.M. 3115. B.C. 889. Jehoshaphat.]

buried <06912> [was buried.]

Jehoram <03088> [Jehoram.]

king <04427> [reigned.]

"Alone."


21:2

Israel <03478> [Israel.]

Jehoshaphat was certainly not king of Israel, but of Judah: {Yisra‰l} must therefore be a mistake for {Yehoodah;} which is the reading of thirty-eight of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and of the Syriac, Arabic, Septuagint, and Vulgate.


21:3

gave ... many .................. gave <05414 07227> [gave them.]

kingdom <04467> [the kingdom.]

He associated him with himself in the kingdom about three years before his death, and in the fifth year of Joram king of Israel; so that Jehoram reigned three years with his father, and five years alone, in all eight years.

Jehoram <03088> [Jehoram.]

"Jehoram made partner of the kingdom with his father, 1 Ki 8:16."


21:4

killed .... brothers <02026 0251> [slew all.]


21:5

Jehoram <03088> [A.M. 3112-3119. B.C. 892-885. Jehoram.]

21:12

letter <04385> [A.M. 3116. B.C. 888. a writing.]

"Which was writ before his assumption."

Elijah ... prophet <05030 0452> [Elijah the prophet.]

If the account of the translation of Elijah be given in the order in which it happened, then it occurred in the reign of Jehoshaphat, the father of Jehoram. Hence, it is probable that he wrote it before his assumption, and left it to be delivered by Elisha or one of the prophets.

footsteps ..... Jehoshaphat <01870 03092> [in the ways of Jehoshaphat.]

footsteps ......... Asa <01870 0609> [in the ways of Asa.]


21:13

footsteps <01870> [in the way.]

killed <02026> [hast slain.]


21:14

severely <04046> [plague. Heb. stroke.]

people <05971> [thy people.]

Many of the people had concurred in Jehoram's idolatry, and some of them must have been instruments in his base, unnatural murders; they were therefore joined in his punishment, and he suffered by the loss of his subjects.

sons <01121> [thy children.]


21:15

disease <04245> [by disease.]

This is supposed to have been a violent dysentery, a disease which is often attended with symptoms similar to those described in the text; by the same death perished Antiochus Ephiphenes, and Herod Agrippa.

intestinal ....... intestines ... come out <04578 03318> [thy bowels fall.]

chronic <02483> [the sickness.]

Ahaziah <03059> [Jehoahaz.]

[Ahaziah.]

[Azariah.]


21:18

After ...... Lord <0310 03068> [A.M. 3117-3119. B.C. 887-885. And after all.]

"His son Ahaziah Prorex, soon after."

incurable ... disease <02483 0369> [an incurable disease.]


21:19

make ... bonfire <06213 08316> [made no.]


21:20

thirty-two <07970 08147> [A.M. 3119. B.C. 885. Thirty and two.]

5

regretted <02532> [without being desired. Heb. without desire.]

That is, without being regretted: no one wished him to live any longer. He was hated while he lived, and neglected when he died.


2 Chronicles 27:1-9

27:1

twenty-five <02568 06242> [A.M. 3246-3262. B.C. 753-742. twenty and five.]

[Joatham.]


27:2

did ............ done <06213> [And he did.]

enter ... temple <0935 01964> [he entered not.]

He copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and constitutional; and avoided his transgression.

people <05971> [the people.]


27:3

Upper Gate <08179 05945> [high gate.]

Ophel <06077> [Ophel. or, the tower.]

"The wall," says the Targum, "of the interior palace." {Ophel} appears to have been a tower, or fort, on the city wall, in which we read "the Nehthinim dwelt."


27:4

built cities <05892 01129> [he built cities.]

hill country <02022> [the mountains.]

fortresses ... towers <01003 04026> [castles and towers.]

These castles and towers he doubtless built built for the protection of the country people against marauders.


27:5

king <05984 04428> [the king of the Ammonites.]

We find here, that he brought the Ammonites under a heavy tribute for three years; but whether this was the effect of his prevailing against them, is not so evident. Some think that they paid this tribute for three years, and then revolted; that, in consequence, he attacked them, and their utter subjection was the result.

10,000 ...... 10,000 <0505 06235> [ten thousand.]

Rather, "ten thousand {cors} (korim) of wheat." The {cor} was same as the {homer,} and contained about 32 pecks 1 pint.

Ammonites ........ Ammonites .................. Ammonites <01121> [So much. Heb. This.]


27:6

Jotham <03147> [Jotham.]

determined <03559> [prepared. or, established.]


27:7

rest <03499> [Now the rest.]

recorded <03789> [A.M. 3262. B.C. 742. they are written.]

There is not so much found in the book of Kings, which we have now, as here: in both places we have abridged accounts; the larger histories having been lost.


27:9

Jotham <03147> [Jotham.]


2 Chronicles 30:1-27

30:2

king <04428> [the king.]

second month <08145 02320> [in the second month.]

In Ijar, as they could not celebrate in Nisan, the 14th of which month was the proper time. But Hezekiah and his counsellors justly concluded, that the regulation of the 14th day of the second month, which had been made for individuals who were hindered from eating the passover at the appointed season, might in their present circumstances be extended to the people at large.


30:3

time <06256> [at that time.]

Messengers <03212 07323> [the posts went.]

{Ratzim,} "runners," or couriers, of the same kind as the running footmen, who were formerly, before the establishment of posts, and still are in some places, trained, and kept on purpose to convey dispatches speedily by running.

king .......... royal ............................ kings <04428> [the king. Heb. the hand of the king. turn again.]

messengers journeyed <07323> [the posts.]

<07832> [they laughed.]


30:11

men ... Asher <0836 0582> [divers of Asher.]

It has been said, that Hezekiah had no right to invite Hoshea's subjects to repair to Jerusalem to his passover; but it may be presumed, that he was encouraged to do this by Hoshea himself, who was one of their best kings; besides which, both the golden calves having been taken away by the Assyrians, the apostate Israelites, being thus deprived of idols, had begun to return to the Lord, and to go up to Jerusalem to worship, some time before Hezekiah gave them this invitation.

giving thanks <03034> [and making.]


30:23

decided <03289> [took counsel.]

2

celebrate ...... so .... celebrated <06213> [to keep.]

They did not observe other seven days of unleavened bread, but offered sacrifices with praise and thanksgiving, and feasting, other seven days; and, as the people in general, and especially those who came out of the kingdom of Israel, would be unprepared for this additional expense, both Hezekiah and his princes liberally supplied them with cattle for sacrifices.


30:24

33:7

put .... image <06459 07760> [he set a carved image.]

The Targumist says, "He set up an image, the likeness of himself, in the house of the sanctuary." In the parallel passage it is, "a graven image of the grove," or rather, Asherah or Astarte. Manasseh, as Bp. Patrick observes, seems to have studied to find out what God had forbidden in his law, that he might practice it: a most prodigious change from the height of piety in his father's time, into the sink of impiety in this!

hooks <02336> [among the thorns.]

The word {bachochim} may possibly her signify with fetters or chains, as the kindred word {chachim} denotes, Eze 19:4, 9. The Syriac and Arabic have alive, probably reading {bechayim}.

[all his sins.]

<02374> [the seers. or, Hosai.]

So the Targum and Vulgate: the Syraic has Hanun the prophet; and the Arabic, Saphan the prophet. This record is totally lost; for the captivity and repentance of Manasseh are related no where else; and the prayer of Manasseh in the Apocrypha was probably composed long afterwards: it is not acknowledged as canonical even by the Romish church, though it was anciently used as a form of confession, and as such still received by the Greek church.


33:20

Manasseh <04519> [Manasseh.]

Amon <0526> [Amon.]


33:21

33:22

did ............. Manasseh ... done ........... Manasseh <06213 04519> [as did Manasseh.]

sacrifices ...... his <0526 02076> [for Amon sacrificed.]

Amon's conduct is recorded as like his father Manasseh, in sacrificing to graven images; by which some think it is an evidence that Manasseh did not truly repent, but they forget how many good kings had wicked sons. In one point of view Manasseh was defective, although it cannot be supposed that it affected his eternal state; for when he cast out the images, he did not utterly deface and destroy them, according to the law in De 7:5, which required, moreover, that the graven images should be burnt with fire. How necessary that law was, this instance shows; for the carved images being only thrown aside, and not burnt, Amon knew where to find them, soon set them up, and sacrificed to them.

35:1

Josiah <02977> [Josiah.]

The whole solemnity was performed with great exactness according to the law, and upon that account there was none like it since Samuel's time; for even in Hezekiah's passover there were several irregularities. Bp. Patrick observes, that in this also it exceeded the other passovers which preceding things had kept, that though Josiah was by no means so rich as David, or Solomon, or Jehoshaphat, yet he furnished the congregation with beasts for sacrifice, both paschal and eucharistical, at his own proper cost and charge, which was more than any king ever did before.

fourteenth <0702> [the fourteenth.]

Josiah's solemnization of the passover, which is merely alluded to at 2 Ki 23:21, is very particularly related her, while the destruction of idolatry is largely related in the Kings, and here only touched upon. The feasts of the Lord God, appointed by the ceremonial law, were very numerous; but the passover was the chief. It was the first which was solemnized in the night wherein Israel came out of Egypt, and ushered in those which were afterwards instituted: and it was the last great feast which was held in the night wherein Christ was betrayed, before the vail of the temple was rent in twain. Be means of this feast, both Josiah and Hezekiah revived religion in their day.

The regulations formed by David, and established by Solomon, concerning the courses of the priests and Levites, were committed to writing, and preserved, for them to refer to continually. Josiah, as well as Hezekiah, required the priests and Levites to attend to their several duties, and encouraged them therein, but he neither added, altered, not retrenched anything: he merely enforced what had been established in the law, and in the regulations made by David and the contemporary prophets: "the commandment of the king....was by the word of the Lord."

35:22

Josiah <02977> [Nevertheless.]

Josiah's conduct in this affair has been treated with great severity; and he has been charged with engaging rashly in an unjust war, and disregarding the express command of God. But Scripture no where condemns him; and Pharaoh, in marching through Josiah's territories, against his will, certainly committed an act of hostility. It is evident that Josiah was in possession of the whole land of Israel (ch. 26:6); and probably he held the northern parts of it as a grant from the king of Babylon; and was not only in alliance with him, but bound to guard his frontiers against hostile invaders. He may, therefore, be fairly justified from the charge of unjustly meddling in a war that did not belong him. It is true the ambassadors assured Josiah, that "God had commanded Pharaoh to make haste;" and he is therefore said not to have "hearkened to the words of Necho, from the mouth of God." But Necho produced no proof that he was a prophet of Jehovah; and the word he employed, {elohim,} may denote gods or idols; and critics have noticed that the expression, "from the mouth of God," is not used when the true God is meant.
