역대하 19:1-4 KRV

The third chapter in Jehoshaphat's career. In this chapter, regarded for the time in the light of a third chapter in the biography of Jehoshaphat, we are enabled to gauge, not altogether unsatisfactorily, his character as respects the measure of right and wrong in it, and of good and evil in himself. And we are reminded that— I. THERE IS SUCH A THING , MOST UNDENIABLY , AS THE PEACE OF PRESENT SAFETY , WITHOUT THAT WHICH FLOWS FROM CONSISTENT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:2

And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him . For Hanani, the faithful father of a faithful son, see 2 Chronicles 16:7-10 , where we read that he "came to Asa King of Judah," etc. Also for Jehu, see 1 Kings 16:1-4 , where we read of his commission at the word of the Lord to rebuke Baasha the King of Israel, at a date upwards of thirty years before the present; and see 2 Chronicles 20:34 , which would lead us to infer, though not with certainty, that he outlived... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:2

Friendship with man and faithfulness to God. The Apostle John fleeing from the baths because he saw the enemy of Christ entering, is a familiar picture. But how far are we to carry such unwillingness to be associated with the ungodly or the unbelieving? Jehoshaphat is here strongly rebuked for his intimacy with Ahab and the help he had been giving that wicked monarch. Let us consider— I. HOW FAR OUR FREEDOM EXTENDS . It surely extends to: 1 . The interchange of common... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:3

Nevertheless; Hebrew, אֲכָל one of the few particles that were affirmative in the earlier Hebrew ( Genesis 42:21 ), but adversative in the later ( 2 Chronicles 1:4 ; Daniel 10:7 , Daniel 10:21 ). It may be well rendered, "on the other hand." The expression here recalls the less favourable "notwithstanding" of Revelation 2:20 . There are good things found in thee (see 2 Chronicles 17:1-9 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:4

From Beershsba to Mount Ephraim . The length of the good land is not to be quoted, as of old, the undivided "Dan to Beersheba," but Beersheba to Mount Ephraim ( 2 Chronicles 13:16-19 ). Jehoshaphat makes another conscientious and vigorous endeavour to reform his own kingdom, to keep it steadfast in the worship of God, and free from idolatry. It is to be noticed that he does not turn away his ear from the rebuke which had been given him, but turns his heart to it. As it does not appear that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:4

A royal mission which is a heavenly one. Of the many things said in favour of Jehoshaphat, perhaps nothing is more highly commendatory than this, that " he went out again through the people … and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers." He could not have done anything worthier of himself, or more likely to result in permanent good to the people over whom he reigned. I. THE ROYAL MISSION . Possibly, as Matthew Henry suggests, the tie which bound the people to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 19:4-11

A royal reformer. I. AN OLD WORK RESUMED . The reformation of religion ( 2 Chronicles 19:4 ). 1 . The reformer. Jehoshaphat. Whether the work was done by special plenipotentiaries, as in the former instance ( 2 Chronicles 17:7 , 2 Chronicles 17:8 ), or by the king in person, or, as is most probable, by both, the mainspring of this movement, as of the former, was Jehoshaphat; and for a sovereign of Judah it was certainly much more becoming occupation than feasting with... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 19:1

Jehoshaphat ... returned to his house in peace - With the battle of Ramoth-Gilead, and the death of Ahab, the war came to an end. The combined attack of the two kings having failed, their troops had been withdrawn, and the enterprise in which they had joined relinquished. The Syrians, satisfied with their victory, did not press on the retreating foe, or carry the war into their enemies’ country. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 19:2

Jehu ... went out to meet him - Compare 2 Chronicles 15:2. The monarch was therefore rebuked at the earliest possible moment, and in the most effective way, as he was entering his capital at the head of his returning army. Jehu, 35 years previously, had worked in the northern kingdom, and prophesied against Baasha 1 Kings 16:1-7, but had now come to Jerusalem, as prophet and historian (compare 2 Chronicles 20:34).Shouldest thou help ... - As a matter of mere human policy, the conduct of... read more
