2 Chronicles 21

Introduction

REIGN OF JEHORAM.

This chapter is parallel with 2 Kings 8:16-24, but is a fuller record of Jehoram’s reign. The additions are the following: The names, wealth, and slaughter of “his brethren,” the sons of Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 21:2-4. What motives led Jehoram to destroy these princes we are not told. Some think he coveted their wealth, the “great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah,” which they had received from their father. 2 Chronicles 21:3. Others think it was because they disapproved of his idolatrous practices, and his marriage with the daughter of Ahab.
