Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 13:14

2 Chronicles 13:14. Behold, the battle was before and behind Thus Judah was unexpectedly brought into a great strait, and put into great fear. A good cause, and one which is designed to be victorious, may be involved in difficulty and distress. And they cried unto the Lord For when danger was on every side, which way should they look but upward for deliverance? It is an unspeakable comfort, that no enemy, not the most powerful or politic, and no stratagem or ambushment, can cut off our... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 13:15

2 Chronicles 13:15. Then the men of Judah gave a shout In confidence of victory, the priests animating them by sounding the trumpets, and giving them assurance of God’s presence with them. To the cry of prayer they added the shout of faith, and so became more than conquerors. God smote Jeroboam and all Israel He struck him and his army with such terror and amazement, that, it appears, they could not strike a stroke, but fled with the greatest precipitation imaginable, and the conquerors... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 13:18

2 Chronicles 13:18. Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time And had not the determinate counsel of God been otherwise, surely so great a blow would have brought them back to the house of David. And Judah prevailed, because they relied on the God of their fathers It was not by their own valour that they obtained this great victory, but by their relying on God, their depending on his power to help them, and their committing themselves and their cause to him. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 13:19

2 Chronicles 13:19. Abijah took cities from him, Beth-el, &c. Which, however, Jeroboam recovered afterward, as appears by the course of the history. What became of the golden calf at Beth-el, when that place came thus into the hands of the king of Judah, we are not told. Probably when Jeroboam’s host was discomfited, and he expected that Abijah would pursue his victory, he removed the golden calf from thence to some safer place. And Ephraim A city so called, possibly the same which is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 13:20

2 Chronicles 13:20. The Lord struck him Either with vexation and horror of mind, or with some painful and lingering, but incurable disease, like that of Jehoram, which tormented him two years together, and at last killed him, 2 Chronicles 21:19. And he died Not immediately, but a year or two after this time. He escaped the sword of Abijah; but there is no escaping God’s sword. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 13:1-22

10:1-36:23 THE KINGS OF JUDAHDivision and its consequences (10:1-13:22)The Chronicler records the division of the kingdom (10:1-11:4; see notes on 1 Kings 12:1-24), but omits the statement in 1 Kings 12:20 that Jeroboam was made king of the northern tribes. He does not even mention Jeroboam’s reign (1 Kings 12:25-14:20). He considers that because the northerners broke away from the dynasty of David and from the true worship of God, they had no right to be called a kingdom, and certainly not the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 13:13

THE BATTLE; JEROBOAM'S DEFEAT; AND ABIJAH'S DEATH"But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them; and when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. And the children of Israel... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 13:13

13-17. But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them—The oration of Abijah, however animating an effect it might have produced on his own troops, was unheeded by the party to whom it was addressed; for while he was wasting time in useless words, Jeroboam had ordered a detachment of his men to move quietly round the base of the hill, so that when Abijah stopped speaking, he and his followers found themselves surprised in the rear, while the main body of the Israelitish forces... read more
