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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 3:11

Is there not here a prophet? this he should have asked before, when they first undertook the expedition, as he did in a like case, 1 Kings 22:5, and for that neglect he now suffers; but better late than never. His affliction brings him to the remembrance of his former sin and present duty. Which poured water on the hands of Elijah, i.e. who was his servant; this being one office of a servant; and this office was the more necessary among the Israelites, because of the frequent washings which... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Kings 3:4-20

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 3:4. An annual tribute on Moab—The custom is common in the East to pay custom or taxes with the products of the land. For a Moabitish king, with rich pastures in his own territory, and also in the Arabian wilderness, this was but a small tribute to pay. 2 Kings 3:6-7. Confederation of Jehoram and Jehoshaphat—This was effected “at the same time” (2 Kings 3:6) as Jehoram began his reign and Moab rebelled; and the confederation was with the design of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 3:1-27

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

2 Kings 3:11Elisha . . . which poured water on the hands of Elijah.Contrast between Elijah and ElishaThe resemblances between Elijah and Elisha are occasionally so great, that it is scarcely surprising the one prophet is confused with the other. They both lived in one country and in one age. They were both the messengers of God to kings. They both wrought miracles, and even the same class of miracles, multiplying the widow’s off, and raising from the dead a mother’s only child. Last of all,... read more

Alas! that the Lord hath called. ] Vox est admirantis et desperantis, saith Vatablus. He seeketh to lay the blame upon the Lord: though it were himself especially that brought the army into that distress.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 3:11

2Ki 3:11 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. Ver. 11. Is there not here a prophet of the Lord? ] Jehoram in this distress doth only quarrel and complain; but good Jehoshaphat bethinketh himself, though late first, of a prophet. Had this been done time enough, these straits had been... read more
