Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:1-27

2 Kings 3:1-Daniel : . Reign of Jehoram. War with Moab.— The only two kings of Israel on whom the censure pronounced is in any way qualified are Jehoram, the last of the house of Omri, and Hoshea ( 2 Kings 17:2), the last king of Israel. All the others are said to have done evil.The war with Moab is the subject of the famous inscription of Mesha discovered in 1868 (pp. 34, 69). On this Mesha states that Omri occupied the land of Mehedebah (Medeba, Numbers 21:30, Joshua 13:9, Isaiah 15:2) his... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 3:23. This is blood—For the rancour between the kings of Israel and Judah was well known; hence the Moabites supposed they had slaughtered each other in some quarrel on their march. Thus deluded by the sight of the water—reddened by the sun’s rays, or with the colour of the earth into which they had dug (2 Kings 3:16), the Moabites hastened. unprepared, into the hands of their foes. 2 Kings 3:25. קּיר הֲרָשֶׂת—Called Kir Moab (Isaiah 15:1).

Chapter 3Now chapter 3.Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, and he reigned for twelve years ( 2 Kings 3:1 ).So Jehoram, the other son of Ahab, began now to reign while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah; he reigned for twelve years.And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not as bad as his father: for he did remove the Baal image of Baal that his father had made. Nevertheless he continued in the ways... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 3:1-27

2 Kings 3:1 . Jehoram began to reign the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat. There is a small difficulty here in regard to the chronology of those times. It is said that Ahaziah began to reign the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat. 1 Kings 22:51. To reconcile the variation, it is supposed that either Jehoshaphat or Ahaziah began to reign before his father was dead, as was the case with Solomon. 2 Kings 3:2 . He put away the image of Baal. This god was becoming unpopular, for he had not, like... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:4-27

THE WAR WITH MESHA, KING OF MOAB, 2 Kings 3:4-27. Peculiar interest has become attached to the biblical history of Mesha, king of Moab, by reason of the recently discovered (1870) inscription of this king on a monumental stone at Dibon. To this we have already made reference in the note on 1 Kings 16:23. In the inscription Mesha claims to have captured a city from the king of Israel, and to have had various successes and victories, which we may suppose probably occurred during the reign of... read more
