Bible Comments

CONTENTS

We have related in this Chapter a further account of the reign of Jehoshaphat. He returns to his kingdom after the battle of Ramoth-gilead. He sets judges over the land.

2 Chronicles 19:1

No doubt the peace which is here spoken of, means the sense he had of the Lord's goodness in preserving his life in so critical a moment of danger at the battle. It is probable that by this time the mind of the king had been led to consider that he had been out of the path of duty, and therefore the mercy he had received was a double mercy, and being so widely distinguished from the fate of Ahab, he could not but return to his house and family in peace.

2 Chronicles 19:1

1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
