Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Chronicles 21:11

Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.High places — Not to the Lord, but to Baals or false gods.And caused — Not only by his counsel and example, but by force, by threats, and penalties. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Chronicles 21:12

And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,From Elijah — By this it appears, that Jehoram came to the throne before Elijah's translation. It is true, we find Elisha attending Jehoshaphat; but that might be, while Elijah was yet on earth: for we read of Jehoram's coming to the crown, before we read of Elijah's translation, 1... read more

11. He made high places in the mountains Thus undoing, or setting at naught, the labours of his pious father, who had exerted himself with marked though not complete success, (compare 2 Chronicles 17:6; 2 Chronicles 20:33,) to take away this stone of stumbling from Israel. Caused… Jerusalem to commit fornication A common scriptural metaphor for idolatry. Compelled Judah In thus using violence to seduce the people to idolatry, Jehoram was probably influenced by his wife, Athaliah, who... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 21:12

12. There came a writing to him from Elijah Here it appears that Elijah was still on earth in the days of Jehoram, and after the death of Jehoshaphat. Though we might naturally infer the contrary from the order of the narrative in 2 Kings, where Elijah’s ascension is recorded before the reign of Jehoram, yet such an inference is by no means necessary. The writer of Kings wished to group together the miracles of Elisha, and it was natural for him first to record the ascension of that... read more
