2 Chronicles 28:9 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:6-15

We have here, I. Treacherous Judah under the rebukes of God's providence, and they are very severe. Never was such bloody work made among them since they were a kingdom, and by Israelites too. Ahaz walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and the king of Israel was the instrument God made use of for his punishment. It is just with God to make those our plagues whom we make our patterns or make ourselves partners with in sin. A war broke out between Judah and Israel, in which Judah was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:9

But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded ,.... Not the same that was in the time of Asa, 2 Chronicles 15:1 , and he went out before the host that came to Samaria ; that was coming thither; he went out of Samaria to meet them: and said unto them, behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand ; he let them know it was not owing to their wisdom and conduct, their prowess and courage, that they had got the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 28:9

But a prophet of the Lord - whose name was Oded - To this beautiful speech nothing can be added by the best comment; it is simple, humane, pious, and overwhelmingly convincing: no wonder it produced the effect mentioned here. That there was much of humanity in the heads of the children of Ephraim who joined with the prophet on this occasion, the fifteenth verse sufficiently proves. They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate captives, but they took that very spoil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:1-27

This King Ahaz: the progress of a king literally devoid of religion. In such words, the significance of which no one can mistake, is the royal person who is the chief subject of this chapter pointed to ( 2 Chronicles 28:22 ). Ahaz is the bad son of a good father. He is a type of those who begin badly, who are untaught by experience, who grow worse by suffering and adversity, and who end by maddening themselves, to their own destruction! The career of his father Jotham is written,... read more

This is that King Ahaz. I. A DEGENERATE SON . Aliaz, "Grasper" or "Possessor." In the Tigiath-Plleser inscriptions, which probably confounded him with the son of Jehoram ( 2 Chronicles 21:17 ), he is called Jehoahaz, "Whom Jehovah grasps," though the Scripture writers may have dropped the prefix "Jeho-" on account of his wickedness. 1 . He possessed his father ' s nature. Of necessity, as his father's son ( Genesis 5:3 ). Yet he improved not upon that nature, but rather... read more

The very interesting contents of this and the following six verses are not found in the parallel. A prophet of the Lord … Oded . We do not know any particulars of this prophet; for his name and its possible identity with the name Iddo, see notes on 2 Chronicles 9:29 ; 2 Chronicles 15:1 , 2 Chronicles 15:8 . The growingly frequent references to the interposition of the prophets is much to be noticed, and their dignity, courage, fidelity, are brought into grand relief. They are very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 28:9-15

Divine and human pity. A very striking and a most unusual incident is here related; it has very few parallels in the page of ancient history. The hand that struck down the enemy very rarely failed to strike him when he was down. Here we have a refreshing picture of human relenting; of men who had just presented the cup of woe putting to the lips of the suffering a cup of mercy. But first we have a picture of— I. DIVINE PITY IN THE MIDST OF DIVINE PENALTY . It is clear... read more
