Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:3-9

Nothing particularly interesting, more than the common events in the records of the kings of Judah and Israel, meets us in these verses. That they lived, and fought, and built, and died, seems the great outline of their general character. - Let the Reader recollect the one great cause for which their history is preserved; namely, to lead in the succession of the line of David to Christ. It is this which makes the record precious: for this terminates not in an endless genealogy after the law of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

Ordering His Way before God 2 Chronicles 27:1-9 This story of Jotham is memorable if only for one sentence; that he became mighty because he ordered his way before the Lord his God. We should order our lives , as we order our prayers. First things must come first. We should always consider, in anticipating any course of action, how best to promote God’s glory and the interests of His Kingdom. As far as lies in our power, we should adopt and follow some plan or program, such as He will... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

Uzziah was succeeded by Jotham. We have very few details of his reign. In all probability the sixteen years referred to by the chronicler cover a period in which he was exercising authority while his father, Uzziah, was still alive though excluded from the kingly office on account of his leprosy. Jotham continued the work of his father in strengthening the kingdom internally by building, and he was successful in a campaign against the Ammonites. While there was no definite national reform... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

Chapter 27And chapter 27 takes up the reign of Jotham.Twenty-five years old when he began to reign, reigned for sixteen years. He did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, just like his father Uzziah: however he didn't enter into the temple. But the people under him began to do corruptly ( 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 ).And, of course, you'll get that in Isaiah's prophecy.And Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God ( 2 Chronicles 27:6 ).But not much is told us... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

2 Chronicles 27:3 . On the wall of Ophel he built much. Villapandus, in his plan of Jerusalem, places Ophel on the east of the city, and near the temple. Its tower was said to touch the clouds. The Nethinims, the Gibeonites had houses under this wall. REFLECTIONS. The good, though afflicted Uzziah, was singularly happy in having Jotham, a good son, who filled the throne of his father, and walked in all his father’s ways. And what greater joy can a parent ask? This is a happy fruit of a... read more
