Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Chronicles 17:16

2 Chronicles AMASIAH 2Ch_17:16 . This is a scrap from the catalogue of Jehoshaphat’s ‘mighty men of valour’; and is Amasiah’s sole record. We see him for a moment and hear his eulogium and then oblivion swallows him up. We do not know what it was that he did to earn it. But what a fate, to live to all generations by that one sentence!

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 17:1-19

With the accession of Jehoshaphat a period of definite reformation for Judah commenced. In this chapter we have, first, the account of his own relationship to God, and the resulting blessing that came to him. Then follows an interesting account of what in these latter times would be called special missions, arranged by the king, and conducted through the cities of Judah by representatives of the princes, the Levites, and the priests. Jehoshaphat put into practice himself, and by these special... read more

Next to him; either, 1. After his death, as his successor in the same command. And the like is supposed concerning Jehozabad, 2 Chronicles 17:18. Or rather, 2. Next to him in place and authority; or, at least, in power and the numbers of his host. read more

As volunteers and auxiliaries, to be ready upon occasion, as the service of God and the king should require. Possibly these or most of them were the strangers which had come out of Israel into the kingdom of Judah in Asa’s days, and probably since that in his time. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Chronicles 17:1-19

Chapter 17At his death his son Jehoshaphat took over the throne. Jehoshaphat was a very good king and God strengthened him.The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim [the false god]; But he sought to the LORD God of his fathers, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of the northern tribe of Israel. Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he... read more
