2 Kings 3:0 1. Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign [lit., reigned] over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 2. And he wrought evil [did the evil in the eyes] in the sight of the Lord: but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away [and he removed] the image [(Heb., "statue") pillar. Comp. 2Ch 34:4 ] of Baal that his father had made. 3. Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam [1 Kings 12:28 , seq., 1 Kings... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 3:21-25

No doubt the Lord overruled the minds of the Moabites to this delusion, in supposing what they beheld of the water to be blood. And indeed as they knew no rain had fallen, such an idea was not, altogether improbable. The victory of Israel, which Elisha had promised in the Lord's name, certainly was well followed up. It is remarkable upon this occasion, that the Israelites were permitted to act different from a known law! Deuteronomy 20:19 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:20-27

20-27 It is a blessing to be favoured with the company of those who have power with God, and can prevail by their prayers. A kingdom may be upheld and prosper, in consequence of the fervent prayers of those who are dear to God. May we place our highest regard upon such as are most precious in his account. When sinners are saying Peace, peace, destruction comes upon them: despair will follow their mad presumption. In Satan's service and at his suggestion, such horrid deeds have been done, as... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 3:21-27

The Defeat of Moab v. 21. And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, this had taken place in the course of the seven days while the attacking army was approaching, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, summoning all those that were able to gird themselves, that is, to bear arms, and upward, not only the very young, but also all the older men, and stood in the border, drawn up in battle-line along the boundary of their country. v. 22. And... read more

C. The Reign of Jehoram, and his Expedition against the Moabites2 Kings 3:1-271Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 2And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. 3Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.1... read more

Mesha’s Defeat and Desperate Sacrifice 2 Kings 3:13-27 Jehoshaphat, though erring, was still God’s child, and deliverance came to him. The heights of our senseless folly and the depths of our waywardness will not succeed in severing us from God’s love. Elisha used the very words of Elijah, 2 Kings 3:14 and 1 Kings 17:1 . Notice how men of different mold and mission, the Elijahs and the Elishas, derive their inspiration and strength in the same way. As a great Christian general put it, “Every... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 3:1-27

At this point the history goes back and describes the beginning of the war with Moab, to which reference was made at the opening of the book. It was a combined movement of Israel and Judah and Edom against Moab. Elisha's capacity for sternness was manifested in the refusal to deal with the king of Israel. The armies lacked water, and appealed to him. His answer immediately called into prominence the fact of the divine government, that God is still able, in supernatural ways, to make provision... read more

The Elisha Miracles (2Ki 2 Kings 2:1-25 ; 2 Kings 4:1 to 2 Kings 6:23 ), His Prophetic Involvement In The Victory Over Moab (2 Kings 3:1-27 ), And Further Subsequent Events Where YHWH’s Power Through Elisha Is Revealed (2 Kings 6:24 to 2 Kings 8:15 ). We move away in this section from the annals of the kings of Israel and Judah, to the memoirs of the sons of the prophets, although even then possibly intermingled with further extracts from the official annals (e.g. 2 Kings 3:1-27). The... read more

D. YHWH’s Provision For The Alliance Forces And The Subjugation Of Moab Which Has However An Unfortunate Consequence In Mesha’s Child-Sacrifice (2 Kings 3:15-27 ). YHWH’s reply indicated that they had to dig trenches throughout the valley in a kind of irrigation system as though there was a likelihood of water coming down from the mountains of Edom. Then His promise was that, even though they experienced no signs of rain, the channels would become full of water. Thus he required of the... read more
