2 Chronicles 15:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And all Judah rejoiced at the oath That is, a great number of the people; as such general expressions are frequently to be understood: for, doubtless, there were many dissemblers, and ungodly men, at this time among them. For they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire They professed to do so, and, no doubt, many of them did at this time, though afterward they apostatized from his love and service. Thus the times of renewing our covenant with God should be times of rejoicing. It is an honour and happiness to be in bonds with God, and the closer the better. It was an extraordinary good frame that Judah was now in: O that there had always been such a heart in them!

2 Chronicles 15:15

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
