2 Chronicles 18:30 - Exposition

Our had commanded stands rendered in the parallel not so explicitly "commanded," but in both cases the Hebrew text is the same ( צִוָּה ). Therefore, if the place of 2 Chronicles 18:29 , 2 Chronicles 18:30 were inverted, what reads like the cool suggestion of Ahab in 2 Chronicles 18:29 would seem more tolerable. Mean. time, Benhadad's command argues the intensity of his resentment towards Ahab, and not less ungrateful forgetfulness for the ultimate consideration that Ahab had allowed to him ( 1 Kings 20:31-34 ).
