L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

A MESSAGE FROM GOD (vv.1-7) As Asa returned from his victory, the Lord sent a prophet, Azariah, son of Oded, to meet him with encouraging words, telling Asa, "The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you" (v.2). Abijah reminded Asa that for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest and without law" (v.3). This refers especially to the time of the Judges, when everyone did what... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

REHOBOAM AND JEHOSHAPHAT REHOBOAM (2 Chronicles 10-12) The story of the rejected counsel of the older men and what came of it (chap. 10) is practically as in 1 Kings 12:0 , and furnishes an illustration of the relation of divine sovereignty to human free agency. The fortification of Judah’s cities against Israel (chap. 11) was dwelt upon in the earlier books, as well as the return of the priests and Levites to Jerusalem. Rehoboam’s “wise” action (2 Chronicles 11:23 ) is to be taken in the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

2 Chronicles 15:0 "And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah [the same expression as in Numbers 24:2 . (Comp. 2 Chronicles 20:14 ; 2Ch 24:20 )] the son of Oded [by some identified with Iddo, the prophet and historian of the two preceding reigns]" ( 2Ch 15:1 ). Inspiration and Action SUCH words as these should make us solemn, and glad. Here is the eternal force, the Spirit of God; here is the transitory medium, the individual man upon whom that force so suddenly and graciously acted. God is still... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:8

How delightful it is to see the gracious effects of the prophet's preaching on the heart of Asa. Such, Reader! ought all the gracious messages of our God, in his blessed gospel, to have upon our hearts, to give courage and strength for the holy war, and to animate our souls more and more to forget things which are behind, and to press forward to those which are before; and thus to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:9-15

This convening of the people was a very proper thing after so glorious an instance of the divine mercy; in order that all the people, because all were interested in the deliverance, might send up their praises together. And it is delightful to remark, that the assembly became numerous, and fell to Asa out of all Israel in abundance, because they saw that the Lord his God was with him. Oh! Reader! what unknown powers of persuasion would be found in that argument, could we but carry that proof... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:8

Azarias, the son, is omitted in Hebrew and the Vatican Septuagint, which reads Adad, (Haydock) but it is supplied in the other editions, and in the Syriac, (Calmet) as [in] ver. 1. (Haydock) --- Taken: we do not read on what occasion, chap. xvii. 2. His father had seized upon Bethel, &c., chap. xiii. 19. (Calmet) --- Yet Asa waged war himself with the king of Israel. --- Dedicated. Septuagint, "renewed," as the altar had been neglected, or injured by the continual fire; (Menochius) or... read more
