Barnes' Notes on the Bible

2 Chronicles 20 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The narrative in 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 is entirely additional to Kings; in 2 Chronicles 20:31-37, it runs parallel with 1 Kings 22:41-49.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

2 Chronicles 20 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The Moabites, Ammonites, and Edomites, invade Judah, 2 Chronicles 20:1, 2 Chronicles 20:2. Jehoshaphat proclaims a fast, and gathers the people together to seek the Lord, 2 Chronicles 20:3, 2 Chronicles 20:4. His prayer to God, 2 Chronicles 20:5-12. Great and small, male and female, seek the Lord, 2 Chronicles 20:13. Jahaziel predicts the downfall of their enemies, 2 Chronicles 20:14-17. The king, the Levites, and the people take courage; praise and magnify God; and go forth to meet their enemies, 2 Chronicles 20:18-21. The enemies are confounded, and destroy each other, 2 Chronicles 20:22-24. The men of Judah take the spoil, praise the Lord, and return with joy to Jerusalem, 2 Chronicles 20:25-28. The fear of the Lord falls upon all their enemies round about; and the land has rest, 2 Chronicles 20:29, 2 Chronicles 20:30. Transactions and character of Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 20:31-34.

2 Chronicles 20 Introduction

Translated Open passage

INTRODUCTION TO 2 Chronicles 20

Jehoshaphat having notice of a numerous army coming against him, 2 Chronicles 20:1, betakes himself to fasting and prayer with his people, 2 Chronicles 20:3, when they were immediately assured of victory by a prophet, which filled them with joy and thankfulness, 2 Chronicles 20:14, and accordingly their enemies destroyed one another, and Jehoshaphat and his people returned to Jerusalem rejoicing and praising God, 2 Chronicles 20:22, and the chapter is closed with an account of the latter part of Jehoshaphat's reign, 2 Chronicles 20:31.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

2 Chronicles 20 Introduction

Translated Open passage

XX.

INVASION OF THE MOABITES, AMMONITES, AND MAONITES. THEIR MARVELLOUS OVERTHROW—(2Chronicles 20:1-30).

The chronicler only has preserved an historic account of this great deliverance. But certain of the Psalms have been with much probability supposed to commemorate it. The contents of Psalms 46-48 harmonise well with this assumption; and they are referred by their titles to “the sons of Korah,” a fact which corresponds with the statement of 2Chronicles 20:19 that certain of the Korahite Levites sang praises to Jehovah on occasion of the prophecy of Jahaziel. Further, Jahaziel himself was an Asaphite Levite, and it is noteworthy that Psalms 83, which is a prayer against a hostile confederacy of Edom, Amnion, Moab, and other races, is headed “A Psalm of Asaph.” It may have been composed by the prophet whose name is only recorded in this chapter.

Translated Open passage

2Ch 20:1-21.

JEHOSHAPHAT, INVADED BY THE MOABITES, PROCLAIMS A FAST.

1. the children of Moab . . . Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites--supposed to be rather the name of a certain people called Mohammonim or Mehunim

(2Ch 26:7),

who dwelt in Mount Seir--either a branch of the old Edomite race or a separate tribe who were settled there.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

2 Chronicles 20:1

Translated Open passage

The present Hebrew (and English) text mentions the Ammonites twice over. Hence, some adopt a different reading and translate "the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites," etc. Compare 2 Chronicles 20:10, note; Judges 10:12, note; 1 Chronicles 4:41, note.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

2 Chronicles 20:1

Translated Open passage

Children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites - Here there must be a mistake; surely the Ammonites are the same as the children of Ammon. Our translators have falsified the text by inserting the words "other beside," which have nothing properly to represent them in the Hebrew. Literally translated, the words are: "And it happened after this, the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites:" and thus the Vulgate. The Syriac, which the Arabic follows, has felt the difficulty, and translated, Came together with warlike men to fight, etc. The Septuagint have given it another turn: Και μετ' αυτων εκ των Μιναιων, And with them people of the Minaites; which were a people of Arabia Felix near the Red Sea. The Targum has ועמהון מן אדומאי Ve-immehon min Edomaey, "And with them some of the Edomites." This is very likely to be the true reading, as we find from 2 Chronicles 20:10, 2 Chronicles 20:22, 2 Chronicles 20:23, that they procured men from Mount Seir; and these were the Idumeans or Edomites. We should, in my opinion, read the text thus: The children of Moab, and the children of common, and with them some of the Edomites.
