Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 15:14

(14) With shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.—See or 1 Chronicles 15:28; 2 Chronicles 23:13. The acclamations of the people, accompanied by the loud blasts upon trumpet and clarion, naturally enhanced the solemnity of the oath. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

ASA: DIVINE RETRIBUTION2 Chronicles 14:1-15; 2 Chronicles 15:1-19; 2 Chronicles 16:1-14ABIJAH, dying, as far as we can gather from Chronicles, in the odor of sanctity, was succeeded by his son Asa. The chronicler’s history of Asa is much fuller than that which is given in the book of Kings. The older narrative is used as a framework into which material from later sources is freely inserted. The beginning of the new reign was singularly promising. Abijah had been a very David, he had fought the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

CHAPTER 15 The Reign of Asa, Warning and Reformation 1. The warning message of Azariah (2 Chronicles 15:1-7 ) 2. Asa’s response and reformation (2 Chronicles 15:8-19 ) But the Lord knew the danger which threatened Asa. He had begun well. He was faithful to Jehovah, and he and the people had a wonderful demonstration that the Lord hears and answers prayer. Would he continue and end as well as he had begun? The Spirit of God came at this important time upon Azariah (whom the Lord helps).... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

A MESSAGE FROM GOD (vv.1-7) As Asa returned from his victory, the Lord sent a prophet, Azariah, son of Oded, to meet him with encouraging words, telling Asa, "The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you" (v.2). Abijah reminded Asa that for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest and without law" (v.3). This refers especially to the time of the Judges, when everyone did what... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

REHOBOAM AND JEHOSHAPHAT REHOBOAM (2 Chronicles 10-12) The story of the rejected counsel of the older men and what came of it (chap. 10) is practically as in 1 Kings 12:0 , and furnishes an illustration of the relation of divine sovereignty to human free agency. The fortification of Judah’s cities against Israel (chap. 11) was dwelt upon in the earlier books, as well as the return of the priests and Levites to Jerusalem. Rehoboam’s “wise” action (2 Chronicles 11:23 ) is to be taken in the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

2 Chronicles 15:0 "And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah [the same expression as in Numbers 24:2 . (Comp. 2 Chronicles 20:14 ; 2Ch 24:20 )] the son of Oded [by some identified with Iddo, the prophet and historian of the two preceding reigns]" ( 2Ch 15:1 ). Inspiration and Action SUCH words as these should make us solemn, and glad. Here is the eternal force, the Spirit of God; here is the transitory medium, the individual man upon whom that force so suddenly and graciously acted. God is still... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:9-15

This convening of the people was a very proper thing after so glorious an instance of the divine mercy; in order that all the people, because all were interested in the deliverance, might send up their praises together. And it is delightful to remark, that the assembly became numerous, and fell to Asa out of all Israel in abundance, because they saw that the Lord his God was with him. Oh! Reader! what unknown powers of persuasion would be found in that argument, could we but carry that proof... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 15:10-19

The True Worship Restored v. 10. So they, all those mentioned as having been gained by Asa's reformatory measures, gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, for a great festival of confession and thanksgiving. v. 11. And they offered unto the Lord the same time, in the course of that festival, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep, the thanksgiving festival most likely being combined... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

b. Abijah.—Ch. 132 Chronicles 13:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. 2He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Michaiah,1 daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.3And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. And Abijah began the war with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam prepared war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen 4men, valiant in might. And Abijah arose on Mount Zemaraim, which is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

This chapter chronicles with greater detail the occasion and value of the reform wrought in Judah during Asa's reign. Here appears a man mentioned nowhere else. His name was Azariah. Suddenly anointed by the Spirit of God, he appeared to the king, and in a brief prophetic word gave direction to all his life and reign. If the message was brief, it was yet weighty. As to enunciation of principles, it occupies only half a verse in our Bibles. "The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if... read more
