G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 16:1-14

This is a very sad chapter, telling as it does the story of the lapse of a man who, considering the conditions under which he lived, had for six and thirty years been so remarkably true to God.

It seemed to be a successful policy, for Benhadad spoiled the cities of Israel, and Baasha left his work. Things which appear successful... read more
