Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 20:20

Believe in the Lord your God - "Believe in the Word of the Lord your God, and believe in his law, and believe in his prophets; and ye shall prosper." Here the Word and the revelation are most pointedly distinguished; the Word being used personally. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 20:22

The Lord set ambushments - "The Word of the Lord placed snares among the children of Ammon and Moab; and the inhabitants of the mountain of Gibla, who came to fight with Judah; and they were broken to pieces:" so the Targum. Houbigant translates the place thus: "The Lord set against the children of Ammon and Moab ambushments of those who came from Mount Seir against Judah; and the children of Ammon and Moab were smitten: but they afterwards rose up against the inhabitants of Mount... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 20:25

Both riches with the dead bodies - For פגרים peparim , dead bodies, בגדים begadim , garments, is the reading of eight MSS. in the collections of Kennicott and De Rossi, and in several ancient editions. None of the versions have dead bodies except the Chaldee. The words might be easily mistaken for each other, as the פ pe , if a little faint in the under dot might easily pass for a ב beth ; and we know that the ר resh and ד daleth , are frequently... read more

Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them - He was their leader in all these spiritual, holy, fatiguing, and self-denying exercises. What a noble and persuasive pattern! read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:1-13

The source of safety in the hour of peril. Very suddenly does the scene change in these chronicles of the kingdom of Judah. From the peaceful and pleasant duty of completing the arrangements for securing justice throughout the land, Jehoshaphat was driven to consider the alarming intelligence that a powerful combination of enemies was threatening the independence of his kingdom. We learn from these facts— I. THAT WE MAY SUDDENLY FIND OURSELVES IN MOST SERIOUS PERIL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:1-37

The last chapter in Jehoshaphat's career. The aspects in which the character of Jehoshaphat offers itself to our view, in the last seen of him, are now to be considered. Few men there are who bear themselves well in prosperity, especially if the prosperity be great; and many there are who fail to submit well to the discipline of adversity. Of this latter weakness of human nature it can scarcely be said that Jehoshaphat was an illustration. The punishment that had been foretold, that solemn... read more

The prayer of Jehoshaphat. I. THE SCENE . 1 . The place. (1) Jerusalem, the metropolis of the land, whose safety was imperilled. 2 . The assembly . 3 . The suppliant. Jehoshaphat acted as the mouthpiece for himself and his people. Standing forth in the centre of the congregation, he offered "without form or any premeditation (?) one of the most sensible, pious, correct, and, as to its composition, one of the most elegant prayers ever offered under the Old... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:13

If the whole narration called for one more touch, it has it in the pathetic, Brief, telling graphicness of this verse. Their little ones . The familiar Hebrew word ( טַפָם ) is expressive of the quick, tripping step of the young and of women. Gesenius would regard it in this passage as designating the whole family as distinguished from the head of it, and as amplified by "wives" and "children" instanced afterward, quoting the very insufficient support of Genesis 47:12 . Our text... read more
