The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 15:1-9

Idolatry Eradicated. v. l And the Spirit of God, who is also the Spirit of prophecy, came upon Azariah, the son of Oded, otherwise unknown; v. 2. and he went out to meet Asa, upon the latter's return from his victorious pursuit of the Ethiopians, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, the entire army: The Lord is with you while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you, a maxim which is held out at other times too; but if ye forsake Him, he... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 15:10-19

The True Worship Restored v. 10. So they, all those mentioned as having been gained by Asa's reformatory measures, gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, for a great festival of confession and thanksgiving. v. 11. And they offered unto the Lord the same time, in the course of that festival, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep, the thanksgiving festival most likely being combined... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

b. Abijah.—Ch. 132 Chronicles 13:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. 2He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Michaiah,1 daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.3And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. And Abijah began the war with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam prepared war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen 4men, valiant in might. And Abijah arose on Mount Zemaraim, which is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

This chapter chronicles with greater detail the occasion and value of the reform wrought in Judah during Asa's reign. Here appears a man mentioned nowhere else. His name was Azariah. Suddenly anointed by the Spirit of God, he appeared to the king, and in a brief prophetic word gave direction to all his life and reign. If the message was brief, it was yet weighty. As to enunciation of principles, it occupies only half a verse in our Bibles. "The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

Lessons from the Life of Asa 2 Chronicles 15:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We wish to present to you "The life of rest," from certain verses found in chapter 14. These verses are really introductory to the 15th chapter, which is to be studied today. 1. In 2 Chronicles 14:1 we read that Asa had quietness: "And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years." Now comes a statement which explains why the land was quiet. 2 Chronicles 14:2 says, "And Asa did that which was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

2 Chronicles 15:1-Psalms : . The words of Azariah the son of Oded (not mentioned elsewhere) form a kind of introduction to the account of Asa’ s religious reforms; if the words in 2 Chronicles 15:3-Joshua : refer to any definite period, it must be to that of the Judges, for the description of the state of the nation does not agree with any other period recorded in the OT. The whole of this section, however, reads like a midrashic expansion of 1 Kings 15:11-Ezra :. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:8

Of Oded the prophet, to wit, of Azariah, 2 Chronicles 15:1, who was also called by his father’s name Oded. Or Oded may be here put patronymically for the son of Oded; as David is put for Christ the Son of David, Jeremiah 30:9, and elsewhere; and Moses for the sons of Moses, Psalms 90:1. Or here is an ellipsis of the relative word, of which there are many instances both in sacred and profane authors; as 2 Samuel 21:19, the brother of Goliath; Matthew 4:21, James the son of Zebedee; Luke 24:10,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:9

Out of Simeon; which tribe, though they had their inheritance out of the portion of Judah, did for the generality of them revolt to Jeroboam with the other tribes, as appears from many passages of Scripture; which they might conveniently do, because their portion bordered, as on one side upon that of Judah, so on the other side upon that of Dan; and therefore might indifferently join with the one or other, as they saw fit. They fell to him, to wit, from the king of Israel. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 15:10

In the third month, to wit, of the sacred year, in which the feast of weeks or of pentecost fell; of which see Exodus 23:16; Deuteronomy 16:9. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. Asa had peace but ten years, 2 Chronicles 14:1; after which probably there were some bickerings and skirmishes, which seem to have been composed; and after that Zerah comes against him, and is discomfited. Upon this great success many of the Israelites fall to him, and in his fifteenth year he calls this... read more
