2 Chronicles 19:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.

He went out again through the people. This means his re-appointing the commissioners of public instruction (2 Chronicles 17:7-9), perhaps with new powers and a larger staff of assistants, to overtake every part of the land. The complement of teachers required for that purpose would be easily obtained, from the whole tribe of Levites being now concentrated within the kingdom of Judah.
