G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

With the passing of Jehoshaphat another period of degeneracy and darkness set in for the kingdom of Judah. He was succeeded by his first-born, Jehoram, who seems to have been a man of utterly evil nature. He attempted to secure the throne by the murder of his brothers. Perhaps the secret of his evil courses lay in the fact that he took to wife the daughter of Ahab. That would seem to be the thought of the chronicler expressed in the words, "He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as did... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

Chapter 21Now Jehoshaphat died, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. And he had brothers who were also sons of Jehoshaphat [and it names several of the brothers]. And Jehoshaphat had given to his sons great gifts of silver, gold, and precious things, and he gave them cities: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he was [his oldest,] the firstborn. Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father [verse 2 Chronicles 21:4... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

Ezra also repeats the word kings of Israel, 2 Chronicles 28:19; 2 Chronicles 28:27. 2 Chronicles 21:3 . Their father gave them great gifts with fenced cities of Judah. He made them lieutenants, and military princes of districts. 2... read more
