2 Chronicles 25:17 - Exposition

Took advice ; i.e. took counsel; as in foregoing verse, "Art thou made king's counsellor?" and as in same verse, "counselled" should read instead of "determined," The verb ( יָעץ ), in kal, niph; and once only in hithp; occurs just eighty times, always in this sense, and almost always so rendered in the Authorized Version, Let us see one another in the face. A refined analogy to this expression, with all its speaking significance, occurs in 2 Samuel 2:13 ; and, perhaps yet more remarkably, a strange some balance between 2 Samuel 2:14 , 2 Samuel 2:15 , 2 Samuel 2:17 of that chapter and our 2 Samuel 2:21 , 2 Samuel 2:22 may be noticed.
