John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:20

2Ch 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. Ver. 20. Believe in the Lord … so shall ye be established.] When faith is driven to work alone without sense, then God thinks it lieth upon his credit to show mercy. See Isa 7:9 Hebrews 6:12 Isaiah 28:16 . read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 20:20

20. Wilderness of Tekoa Tekoa was situated on a broad eminence twelve miles south of Jerusalem, (see note on 2 Samuel 14:2,) and the wilderness here referred to was the desert country that lay just beyond it towards the Dead Sea. Thus it corresponded very nearly with “the wilderness of Jeruel,” 2 Chronicles 20:10. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 20:21
